Hey guys and gals, I'm in need of assistance here as it will help to make a purchasing decision for my company. We're looking to get a single copy of Maya2009 Complete (as we're not going to need the nParticles where I work). What I'm trying to figure out (and I can't find any contact number for Autodesk's personal support) is if I'll be able to use Maya2009 on my machine, and establish a MRSatellite render farm across the network here. I know it's possible to do so as I've seen a few threads on creative cow and the like, but I had a few questions regarding the farm setup.

In order to use the render farm, will every computer specified in the maya.rayhosts file, be on and running in order to have it work? IE, if say 2 out of the 20 networked computers that are assigned in the maya.rayhosts file are turned off at the time of render, will the render not be able to continue/hang/crash? Will I need to keep all machines that have it on, on and running (ie not logged out) in order for it to run?

Also, will I need a licensed copy of Maya2009 for each machine that I want to run MRSatellite on? I know that this is the case with QMaster setups, but is it the same for a straight MRSatellite setup?

Thanks in advance!
