	More info here, and is confirmed BTW with Creative Cloud as well:
	https://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/automated-rendering-network-rendering.html

	Specifically about licensing:

"""
Install After Effects on the render-only machine.

Place a blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt into one of the following
locations, depending on the user account type:

    Mac locations:
        /Users/<username>/Documents/
        /Users/Shared/Adobe/

    Windows locations:
        C:\Users\<username>\Documents
        C:\Users\Public\Documents\Adobe
"""

	There's other useful general guidelines at that link for rendering
	on the network with After Effects.
