Just upgraded to OctaneRender 2.06 and im attempting to setup a network render. when i run the slave daemon on the other computer i get asked for my octane live username and password, i enter my current license and i get refused authentication. do i require another license just for network rendering?

Yes You do, You need second licence in order to run network rendering.

So it's worth to think about optimising You PC layouts (to fit 4GPU/mobo).

pluss there's a new solution: http://render.otoy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=42041

(basically what that does is:

You setup a server that with the help of software will make GPUs visible for Your main PC =)

Thankyou for your reply, I found this really helpful, I cant afford GPUBox atm, It would be cheaper to just upgrade my current GPU but it gives me something to look forward to in the future 8-)
