Not sure if it applies in your case, but I can use Corona's DR on a node with a Max non-GUI version (that I'm using for backburner, too). Should be working with a Corona render node license I suppose. Max 2021 and Corona 9 hf1 in my case. However I'm on active subscription for Corona, not perpetual.

thank you for taking the time to share that information.

Thank you for the response.  Unfortunately Chaos will not let me pay to update my perpetual license so that is what I am stuck with.

Does anyone know if Corona distributed render will work on my max installs that are non-GUI (trial mode that will not launch)?
Corona render node did activate on max 2022 since it has full GUI capability, but max 2020 and 2017 cannot be launched since they are trial only.

I worked and saved up the last few years to get a machine powerful enough but need to be able to add it to my distributed render to actually use it now

Hello. I bought Corona 7 perpetual years ago.  (1 GUI and 3 render nodes.)
I need to install 1 render node to my PC I saved up and bought specifically for rendering.

The GUI corona license is currently activated and working on my other main PC and that is good.
1 of the nodes was installed on a laptop that no longer has 3ds max on it.  So that node needs to go to the new machine.
I don't know what options to select during install.

End Goal is to have 1 PC with GUI Corona and 2 PCs as render nodes.  1 node won't be used as I only have 3 good PCs. Please help.
Furthermore, Corona forum didn't even recognize my original email used during the purchase (said doesn't exist) so that may be an issue during activation??Thank you
EDIT: Forgot to mention the machine in question I need to install the render node Corona on only is running non-GUI 3ds max only for distributed render in unactivated mode so after 30 days I will not have access to the 3ds max GUI.
