You will have a total of 8 licenses, from which 2 may be used as WS or nodes and 6 only as nodes. So the answer is yes, you will be able to render.

Hello. Can I use rendernodes from another box-licence?
In other words, is node keys are linked to their workstaton key, or not?

yes, definitely. You can render fairSaaS jobs on box nodes, combine boxes from different orders, etc. No restrictions here.

Thanks!

I try to find an error... Some nodes does not work, and DR Server wrote:

These are new computers without any other software, 1GB lan, Firewall off (but on/off - doesnt matter).
What is this error " Unknown error while loading application"?

This is the first thing that comes to my mind but it may be harder to diagnose:

Hello! If i have 2 FairSaaS licenses + 10 render nodes and 5 workstations with Corona A6. How scenes from A6 rendered at nodes with Corona 1. Its the same results or i need another nodes with A6 for render it on render farm?

Sorry for my English)

And another question. How install node on render farm? I can activate or demo or FairSaaS. But how i understand, i can activate only 2 FairSaaS licenses. I need install 20 render nodes for render via deadline.

The results from A6 and 1.0 are expected to be different so it would be best to use the same version on all pcs.

You can activate as many licenses as you have.
Here is our comprehensive guide on activating Corona:
