Posting here since i haven't found the answer in the pricing press release, and it does sound like feature to me :) please feel free to move
Based on our company's needs box version with update subscription sounds perfect ... once the floating network licensing becomes available. But occasionally we like to fire up a few hundred machines on the cloud (precisely why we chose not to upgrade to v-ray 3.0), and hence this licensing feature request.
Since there will already be a web license server running to support the SaaS model, would it be possible to arrange for, say, prepaid accounts that allow a "per hour/per node use"? Let's say a certain hour/node cost is established and the server allows machines to pull render node licenses from it for as long as there's a positive balance on the account. If you base the hourly cost on a reasonable annual 100% busy assumption it'll come out pretty low, and i'm sure will be a welcome solution for anyone using cloud only as as supplement to the in-house farm. It'll be a much more cost effective model for occasional cloud use.
Thank you!

We were discussing this, and the problem is that it could be tricky to implement. But it is one of the options what we can do in the future as an improvement, after we set up the basic infrastructure.
