NaiLZ is an unknown quantity at this point
First of all Discreet is technically right C-Dilla does prevent you from running it on multiple computers. When you use the authorization thingy that launches when 3DS first launches you copy is registered with the Discreet servers. C-Dilla also detects hardware things such as MAC address and other things that have no way of being the same on 2 computers. Everytime 3DS is launched this information is checked with the computer. If it does not match it will ask you to reauthorize which will succesfully disable it from the other computer. There are ways to get around this C-Dilla protection but I will not disclose that information. As far as network rendering I belive you do not need another license for each node.

In short
-you are allowed to load 3ds on one computer per-license(seat)
-running 3ds on more computer than you have licenses for is copyright violation
-the hardware lock was replaced with the eaiser to support C-Dilla

If you need further help contact me on AIM (GX NaiLZ)
