I use a second computer as a render farm, I keep it mostly disconnected from the internet because there's no need for it there and I manage the computer over the LAN connection. but i do connect it regularly to make updates.
last night I was using Backburner as usual and corona's license deactivated mid render, the render was running for 8 hours and still a few hours remaining, it gave back an error render start or something saying that the renderer was unable to run. I ran 3dsmax on that machine and there it was, corona asked for activation!
I enabled the internet connection and activated corona again, restarted the job on backburner and it worked normally.
my complaint is that, why would corona stop mid render for activation? when in fact the license is a fairsaas and confirmed less than a week prior? why is there a need to stay connected to your servers, after the fact of paying for my license? this deactivation cost me time and money and it was not the first time!
