Can somebody explain where to find the queue manager installer for remote nodes?

Run the P11.2 installer, but when you get to the select components window, change the default (full installation) to Queue Manager only. You won't need a serial number for the Queue-only installations.

Thanks for the lightning fast answer seachnasaigh, much appreciated!

On a side note, for me personally, this is the optimal solution offering great control. Unified installer, no download manager, plus no need to bother with the qm license anymore? Well done.

The build number for Queue is different than P11.2 but they still work together.

And thanks for that too, you anticipated what my next post definitely would've been about.

Since this might affect somebody thinking about updating:

Before I used the SM download manager to download it. Since there is no separate download link for QM on posersoftware.com/downloads, I looked at the reference manual on page 24, which states: "When you install Poser Pro, it will also install the necessary files for Queue Manager that you need on the installation computer. The separate Queue Manager installer is intended for remote nodes [...]" without giving a hint where that installer was put.

If I am missing something obvious, it's not obvious to me :)

Before I download unnecessarily: Does 11.2 come with a compatible version of the Queue Manager for rendering nodes?

Yes.

I tested network rendering almost every day the last month.

As did a couple of other testers with networks set up.

Fantastic to hear! ? Thank you.
