In the words of Denzel Washington in the movie Philadelphia...explain to me like I'm a five year old.

Say you have a desktop at your kitchen breakfast nook, a workstation in your home office, and a laptop. The P11Pro license allows you to install P11Pro on all three of those machines. The license permits you to run P11Pro on any one computer at a time.

So, you might work in Poser on the kitchen desktop while having morning coffee (close when finished!), then later work in Poser on the office workstation. Before bed, you might open the scene on which you've been working on the laptop, and send a batch list of test/promo renders off to queue.

If you have access to extra computers, you may install Queue Manager on as many computers as you can scrounge up.

You would send an animation -or batch list- to the queue remotes from one of the three P11Pro computers. Once that master machine's Queue auto-launches, you could close Poser if you like, or work on a different scene. Queue makes its own copy of the PZ3 to send to the remotes, so you're now free to do other work with Poser if you want. Don't shut down the master machine which sent the job to queue, because the remotes will return their finished renders to that machine. You can close Poser, but don't shut the master computer down.

Thank you, Earl. That was completely understandable. So I can only run Poser one at a time, not work on two machines on different scenes (as I wish to do but still...) but I can still use the other machine, my breakfast nook laptop to render a scene using the queue manager and keep diligently working away. Sorry I didn't understand, Jenn. I still had instancing in my head and it broke down when you mentioned one instance at a time. Sigh...getting old is not for sissies.
