Under the “like for like” principle, you are eligible to transition to one Tractor license for each Alfserver. This aligns with the “task centric” nature of single invocation unlimited threading licensing introduced in RPS 15.0. Note that launching additional invocations of RenderMan on the same machine is still possible but will require one additional Tractor license per invocation. For the purpose, multiple Tractor licenses can be allocated to a single machine, and if additional Tractor licenses are required, they may be purchased for $99 each.
