For the record, I have never experienced this issue when rendering via
the command line when on the student versions, whether XSI/Maya. For the
render farm here my school uses Muster which allows us to setup a custom
'template' (that's what they call it) that lets me modify what actual
command is sent to the nodes across the farm, so for some cases where I
had a problematic scene I just used render/xsibatch commands for the
maya/XSI template, bypassing Muster's GUI completely. If RR allows for
something like this, might be worth looking into...
Yours sincerely,

No worries. I haven’t tried it on Maya. I seem to recall when I
was grumbling to Graham about it a few years back he did mention
that it was across the board I could be wrong though.

Subject: Re: Free Student version of Softimage - Doesn't allow
batch render - Any workarounds
Thanks for the response Angus,
The student has a 3 minute film to render, each scene has 70 or so
reference models.
When you load each scene you have to press OK this many times to
the dialogue box that says its been created in a student version.
Absolute hindrance.
Got a fix but its a good 20 minute fix per shot just to be able to
render...
Hate asking this but I wonder if this is the the same with Maya?
If so, I shall definatley need to start looking at our licensing.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon
This is the major reason why we switched to the arc Licences.
The EDU, Commercial and the Free Student version all had
interop issues. The worst begin the contamination from the
free version. What we do now is allow the students to bring in
their own workstations and we lend them a licences for the
duration of the course. That way we ensure that we are all on
the same version,.
Its bloody stupid that we have to do that . But its the only
way we could practically not run into batch render issues.
