Copyright and Software Licenses on 3S Cloud Render Farm

One of the most expensive investment costs for 3D artists in rendering is purchasing software licenses. So, many customers asked about how we spend a lot of money on legal software licenses on 3S Cloud Render Farm, especially when integrated into multiple machines as we have. There is also an interesting question like this: “…users do not know exactly whether those types of software like Houdini or Maya are legal or illegal. There may have cracked versions in 3S Cloud farm, who knows?”

The reason is that on our render farm, users do NOT have to do anything except upload projects then render.

Therefore today, we are going to show you how we deal with software licenses and become a reliable render farm in order to make sure you are no longer in doubt.
