Licensing Question

We purchased LW Plugin and Standalone originally.

We render with LWSN network rendering (not Octane Network rendering).

I see under purchase options multi pack of Lightwave licenses. But they are not combo (with stand alone) Is this all I need for another workstation to have Lightwave be able to pull up and render octane scenes? Even if it uses LWSN.exe to do the render on that machine?

To render with LWSN you need a full combo license (One plugin license + one standalone license) in each render node. LWSN is like a Layout without the interface, so it needs it's own plugin license to work.

If you want to build several LWSN render nodes, you could buy a LightWave multi-pack and a Standalone multi-pack. For example to configure three LWSN render nodes, you should buy the LightWave plugin License 3-pack and the Standalone License 3-pack, to have one plugin+standalone license available for each render node.
