Thanks Todd. Very helpful. I didn’t know about the creative cloud packager, looks like how we’ll being doing it. From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv]
On Behalf Of Todd Kopriva I’ve got a blog post about this coming up soon.
Here’s what I currently have saved in my drafts folder for the blog post: ============================================== Changes to how Creative Cloud manages software licensing affects how you install render-only instances of After Effects CC, known as render engines. After Effects CC allows you to install non-royalty-bearing render-only instances of the application on multiple computers without using your 2 license activations,
same as After Effects CS6. What has changed is that your software license is activated when you install Creative Cloud applications. Previous versions of After Effects activated when the
software was launched for the first time. This means that when you install a render-only instance of After Effects CC you will want to sign out of Creative Cloud on that computer to avoid using one of
your activations. Follow these steps to ensure that your activations are not used by installing render-only instances of After Effects CC: 1. If you have installed Creative Cloud applications on 2 computers, sign out of one of them. Opening any of the applications then choose Sign Out from the Help
menu. You can sign back into Creative Cloud on this computer after the render-only instances are installed. Then on each computer you want to install a render-only instance of After Effects CC: 2. Go to the Download Center at
http://creative.adobe.com to download and install After Effects CC. 3. When the installation is complete, launch After Effects. 4. Choose Sign Out from the Help menu. 5. Quit After Effects. 6. Create the ae_render_only.txt file as per the instructions. You do not need to follow the instructions above if you are deploying After Effects CC as part of a multi-seat license, Creative Cloud for teams or enterprise.
Instead use the Creative Cloud Packager tool to deploy the software. In this case, create the ae_render_only_node.txt file before deployment: 1. Create the ae_render_only.txt file as per the instructions. 2. Deploy After Effects CC using Creative Cloud Packager. From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv]
On Behalf Of Michael Powers I run up to 20 boxes, I was wondering about the necessity of installing the CC desktop on all the machines, etc. Hoping that maybe there was an improved way
to network deploy. That type of stuff… From: After Effects Mail List [mailto:AE-List@media-motion.tv]
On Behalf Of Michael Powers Thnx I read that page.

On Behalf Of Teddy Gage I'll save Todd the trouble. Same as CS6. You are allowed unlimited(?) render nodes with CC. With video tutorial in link.

CC? (I didn’t see one). Are there any “gotchas” to watch out for? Thnx
