I know now Maya 6.5 Unlimited come free with 8 CPUs for mental ray satellite and Maya Complete with 2 CPUs. So far I only can assign mental ray satellite to 20 slave
machines as I had 2 MU and 2 MC. But I have totally 64 CPUs which are only available for
rendering. Now the remain 44 CPUs seem useless and I wish to fully use them. Anyone here able to provide some suggestions for me to apply the mental ray satellite to fully use the remain 44 CPUs to advance my rendering process?

Kindly appreciate any suggestion provided~~

Maya Unlimited will only use upto 8 satelite installations of Mental Ray Satelite. If you want to render on more machines you'll need more Maya licenses or the Mental Ray standalone.

But here I only have 4 workstations(2MU, 2MC) are for development, n those 64 CPUs is available for rendering only. What I was worrying is after I install the network rendering software, will I still need to use the mental ray satellite?
