We recently added some more machines to our render farm, and are upgrading everything to the latest version of keyshot network rendering.  The render farm consumes ALL of the cores on our network rendering license.  When I install network rendering on my machine, or on any other user machine, I have to choose "Slave", "Master", or "Both master and slave".

How can I choose none?  I want to send my rendering out to the network, but do not want to contribute any cores.

I have never used the render farm options so i am just guessing here - Set the output destination to your network drive if that's how you have things set-up, then it shouldn't need to be a part of the farm, and the other option would be something like organised subnets so 192.168.0.1-255 = no render, 192.168.1.1-255 = render farm

Hope that helps ... let me know please

You can close the installer, or run through it, and then chose to not make the Slave active. It may then be installed, but it is not active.
