[ISSUE] Runing free slave node with licensed version
Posted: Sat Dec 19, 2009 6:40 pm
This is probably not too important - in my case it was a bit disturbing though: for a few weeks I have been running alot of tests with the free version of Indigo just to figure out different things and only during the last week I activated my license and started 'real' work. Unfortunatly I forgot to kill all of the slave nodes that were running in free mode. Then after starting several renderings for a client and waiting a considerable amount of time to judge the results I noticed strange effects and first I figured it was some bug in my scene/camera setup or whatever. Only very late I realized that in every production rendering I had 1 smaller copy of the rendering showing up - so obviously that node running in free mode still contributed to the rendering process.
If I may suggest it would be better to make the slaves running in free mode do a check before contributing, otherwise large amounts of time can be wasted by the non informed (like me .
Thanks in advance for considering!
