Thanks to Brian Krusic for this info on AE render only rendering: I haven't tried this myself, but FYI: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/06/codecs-and-the-render-engine-in-after-effects-cs6.html The gist of it being creating a file called "ae_render_only_node.txt" in /Users/Shared/Adobe/ to enable "non-royalty-bearing" render only mode, so if you're not using codecs that involve royalties, you can use this mode: "After Effects CS6 and After Effects CC include a significant change from After Effects CS5.5 regarding the ability to use network rendering without activation of render-only instances of the application, known as render engines. "After Effects CS5.5 had to be activated (serial number entered) on render-only machines due to licensing restrictions for certain codecs. See this post by After Effects product manager Steve Forde [links below] for more background about this." The link on that page is stale, due to the regular growth of Steve's blog, but these are I think the articles the above meant to point to: Oct 12, 2011 -- Render Engines and Joy of legal obligations [part 1 of 2] http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/10/render-engines-and-joy-of-legal-obligations.html Dec 07, 2011 -- Render Engines and the Joy of LEGAL obligations [Part 2 of 2] http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2011/12/render-engines-and-the-joy-of-legal-obligations-part-2.html Also: "Jul 09, 2013 -- Installing After Effects CC render engines with Adobe Creative Cloud" http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/07/installing-after-effects-cc-render-engines-with-adobe-creative-cloud.html |

More info here, and is confirmed BTW with Creative Cloud as well: https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/automated-rendering-network-rendering.html Specifically about licensing: """ Install After Effects on the render-only machine. Place a blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt into one of the following locations, depending on the user account type: Mac locations: /Users/<username>/Documents/ /Users/Shared/Adobe/ Windows locations: C:\Users\<username>\Documents C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe """ There's other useful general guidelines at that link for rendering on the network with After Effects. |
