Hello! In all versions, I could enable distributed rendering during rendering. It is really cool when you can connect the nodes on the fly. Especially when the department has its own render farm, this allows to exchange nodes between us without stopping the render. But in new 7 version I cant do this and got the message:
https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/12000080850-distributed-rendering-cannot-be-enabled-during-rendering-please-enable-distributed-rendering-only-af
WHY? It is very VERY usefull feature! Just turn it on, please )))

Corona v5 was the last version capable of switching DR on an off while rendering unfortunately. I fully agree that a very useful and exciting feature has been removed. To my knowledge, it has been a kind of pawn sacrifice to fix some related bug(s). Pawns, however, play an important role in daily project games and I want this one back as well :)
Good Luck

I use this function very actively, but I have never encountered any errors. It works even in version 6.

It works even in version 6.
I don't think so :)

You dont think, but I know it and use it every day )
-
Then you are not using the latest official v6 which is v6.2, correct?

Hmmm, maybe. Just 6 version, non hotfix2
UPD
But, stop! It seems like hotfix2
-
If that "6" in the renderstamp is the result of the "%bn" token then it's not v6.2. Could you please have a look at Render Setup -> System -> About Corona Renderer/Licensing? Also, the title bar of render setup should read "Render Setup: Corona 6 (Hotfix 2)". Does it? And in your screenshot you can see "(hotfix on Apr 20th 2020)". Your date is the one from v6(.0)
Good Luck

It's all unimportant.
The point is: this feature does not work in the new version, but it is very necessary.
Corona build date in renderstamp says that it is 31 aug 2020 build, that means HF2 according to information from site.
-
Your version is vanilla v6. Hotfix 2 is from Apr 20th 2020. It's right in your screenshot. And this is why DR during rendering on/off works for you.
The point is: this feature does not work in the new version, but it is very necessary.
You should go over to Feature requests (https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php?board=5.0) and reclaim it there...
