Read what I said in another thread about the node locked licenses. I got confirmation from e-on that nothing has changed for hobbyists or individual users. It is the same license we currently have. The distinction with floating licenses is meant more heavy users or professional studios, that have several machines to install vue on (read - dozens of machines on a network). This gives them a choice between 'locking' licenses to individual machines or buying a number of floating licenses and be more flexible in how they use the software. Interesting comment about Carrara - I could have made the same comment when they added network rendering, or their own version of ecosystems oon after e-on came out with theirs for vue 5. Companies are competing in this business. They will come up with similar features to remain competitie. There is nothing 'interesting' in that - it is just a fact of business.
