Quote - Right now, the much more affordable and easy way is to buy additional copies of DAZ Studio for each computer you already own, or for a bit more put together a dual processor/6 core (24 thread) Xeon workstation.

Heh.   Already have a i7-980x 3.33Ghz w/ 24GB of RAM workstation.  I could spend another few thousand to use Dual-Xeon instead (the two CPU chips for 3Ghz six cores run towards $2500 alone--Newegg has them $1639 each for the x5680.)   I have suggested that DAZ create and overlord process to shuttle frames/renders to other DAZ studio nodes.      

In any case, SM and Maxon have provided me with very satisfactory network rendering solutions for some time.   I seem to remember that DAZ's pitch is that DS4 is superior technology to Poser (and hence I should be quick to give up on Poser and switch to DS4.)   Network rendering is apparently a convienience I need to do without in DS4.   I was hoping that it would be DAZ's job to negotiate with 3Delight.

Manually moving frames or tying up my main workstation is a pretty 1990's solution.  Of course, buying a super high-end workstation is one solution, but it doesn't let me use cheaper nodes I can pick up for less than $1000 each.  It would cut into the content budget to buy such pricy silicon to solve DAZ's licensing issues with 3Delight.

Let's see what DAZ says--the question was to them.
