Sharing plugins across a network

[FUG1T1VE]

here is what I digged up from the documentation folder.

"When a composition contains layers that use a plug-in effect, the plug-in that created the effect must be present on all of the machines that will render the composition.
When you install an After Effects render engine on a machine, it contains all the plug-ins included with the After Effects Professional edition. If a composition uses a plug-in from another manufacturer, that plug-in must be present on all machines that will render the composition. However, support for network rendering varies among plug-in manufacturers. Before you set up a network to render effects created by third-party plug-ins, see your plug-in's documentation or contact the plug-in manufacturer and get answers to the following questions:

Does the plug-in's license agreement allow installing multiple copies on a network for the purposes of rendering?
Are there any other limitations or tips that apply to using that plug-in for network rendering?

Note: Do not share plug-ins across a network. Make sure that you have a copy of the plug-ins folder on each system that is running After Effects. When using third-party plug-ins, also be sure that the same plug-ins are available on all systems and that you have sufficient licenses for the plug-ins."
