Ibeleive so, but just one copy? and how many network render devices will it support?
Will it use multiple PCs to render a single frame or only animations?

Network Render Queue

Rendering complicated 3D scenes into images and animations can consume lots of time, even on today’s most powerful computers. With Poser Pro, you can transform a network of computers into nodes within your Network Rendering Queue. With the included Queue Manager application, distribute rendering jobs between one or more nodes. Set the time and nodes you want to render on. Even if you only use Poser Pro on one computer, the Queue Manager is a powerful tool that will let you manage the rendering process - you choose when and where to render, whether that’s in the background while you’re working, overnight or whenever the machine is idle.

Queue Manager features:

  • Manage renderings on systems in the Network Rendering Queue.
  • Create nodes on both Windows and Mac based hardware to establish your Queue.
  • Distribute jobs across the Queue, either single frame images or multi frame animations.
  • Process, Suspend, Resume or Delete jobs from the Queue.
  • Job List displays a rendering job’s properties: document name, output file name, start time, completion time, job status, current frame being rendered, movie start, end time, and increment, and the host node’s name.
  • Job Panel allows you to control individual job options.

From the Poser Pro documentation:
It is important to know that you can install the Queue Manager on as many systems as you wish. However, the number of systems you can use simultaneously will be limited to the number of Queue Manager nodes that are included with your Poser Pro Purchase. You can determine how many nodes are available to you by looking at your Queue Manager serial number. The second set of numbers between dashes indicates how many systems (including the one on which Poser Pro is installed) can operate the Queue Manager simultaneously.

For whats its worth, my second set of numbers is way more than I could ever get close to using (9999).

Thanks!
