You can only run Maxwell Render in network if you have more than one license, for example 2 Standard licenses or 1 Standard license and 1 RenderNode. You can then use the Standard license to run your main machine, where you set up your scenes and the Manager to distribute jobs.

Always make sure that all the machines in your network have access to the Maxwell installation folder where your license file is located.
