Hi
Is there a way to tell a render slave to release the license if a more porwerfull slave needs one.?
We have some older rigs working during the day and in the night the more powerfull machines are fired up.
Is there a way to change the license on the fly.?
Hello,
I am not aware of any way in the Deadline code, nor in the FlexLM license server, to allocate licenses in this way, due to the decentralized nature of Deadline.
thanks for info…
You’re welcome. To expand on that a bit, there is no centralized server sending commands in the Deadline architecture, which could tell the slave to close, and release it’s license. I suppose it could be possible to code in a way for one slave to tell another slave to stop, but that could get really messy with slaves fighting over licenses. Generally we just advise customers to have enough licenses for all machines that will be rendering.
