Quick question (sortof)

We are about to sign off for a few seats of Autodesk Building suite.  Most likely we are going to take out Revit models into 3Ds max design and render from there.   We would like to get into also the backburner server network farm program.   Like I said we are only getting a few seats but in the sale pitch of Autodesk video it says I can render off of "accounting" computers.   So my question is does backburner need to be installed on all computers and if so does 3dsmax design also or only the backburner program?  

guess another question is there a limit on how many seats I can install thei backburner program.  We are not going to buy our accounting people 3Ds max design just to get this backburner program on there.

you need to install backburner and 3ds amx on all the machines. it doesnt need to be activated on the farm machines. You can also you them for distributed rendering as well. hopefully you have a fast network or you may experience some bottlenecks.
