    Has anybody tried this? According to their website a normal license
    will allow rendering on up to 4 CPUs. In my case I want to run on the
    unused core of a dual core when SW is running on the other core. The OS
    in all cases is XP. This is only for rendering and the rendering will
    not be taking place on the machine that creates the model.

    I was hoping that when using it networked that I could choose to select
    only one core on four different dual core machines so as not to disturb
    the user.

    I had the network rendering working in the Beta, it's disabled in the
    current Release Candidate.

    It should be possible to assign a Maxwell Process to a different thread
    / core.
