Note that you do not need more than 1 license of 3ds max to use multiple computers as render nodes. You need 1 licensed copy as the master renderer to send assignments to the render nodes, but each render node can have an unlicensed copy of 3ds max installed which allows you to use as many computers as you can find as render nodes (on the same network...)
