D9 - Pools and machine limits

Hi,

Probably a simple/stupid question, but I cant work it out!

So the setup is I use Pools to control software installed on slaves, ie a 3dsmax Pool, Nuke Pool etc. But I only have 2 render lics for Nuke. I’ve installed Nuke on 4 slaves and applied the pool, but now all 4 try to render, with 2 falling over with no lic. Is there a why within the monitor/pool to set limits, so you can have more machines in the pool then you have lics for them to render with? Then which ever of the 4 is free will pick up the job up till the limit?

I no you can set limits within the job and at submission, but thats not very safe when in a rush and forget.

Thanks,
Mark

One or more limits can be applied globally at the plugin level: docs.thinkboxsoftware.com/produ … ic-options

Ok, cool. Set that all up, so will test it out later. Thanks Mike.
