okay, so we will pay for full licenses for our render clients now, and with cs6 or cs6.5 everything will change again? ouch

Steve's hint to install one license to two computers seems not to work out.
Have a look at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/195/tn_19592.html#main_Can_I_use_my_software_on_two_computers_

'Can I use my software on two computers?
If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.'

Regards,
Sascha

As someone mentioned in the comments of that blogpost, I never use AE to render anything other than  Image Sequences/Quicktime Animation. May be if Adobe figures out a better way to separate codecs from AE and use a standalone program (Premiere Pro), for all the codec compression. Now that I think about it, wouldn't the logical solution be "MPEG-2 Rendering not supported for Command Line Rendering" ? I'm no expert in legal licensing issues, but this sounds much more logical/easier.

Holy crap. How'd I miss that one

So there is no render only serial that u can purchase?

I can understand having to pay something to cover the fees but not a full license price

Hi Sascha,

They changed the licensing in 5.5:

Dear list,
maybe it has been discussed before.
We are using a render manager for our farm. The executable that we are using is aerender. With 5.5 it seems that we don't have unlimited render licenses anymore.
Can you confirm this? Do we need a full license for each of our render clients?
Many thanks,
Sascha
