AE CC Multi-Machine Rendering: Still asking for Adobe ID on Render Engine App Launch

Hi everyone,
I'm sure this is a fairly simple fix, but I have looked for quite a while through blogs and AE documentation and I just can't get it figured out.
I'm trying to set up my first multi-machine render farm with AE CC. All machines for the render farm are running Windows 7 and are networked via Gigabit Ethernet Switch. I understand that I can have CC installed on 2 computers with my membership and then I can install a number of Render-Only instances of AE. The problem is I am trying to set up one of my 3 machines in render-only, yet I am still being asked to sign in with my Adobe ID when I launch the Render Engine App. I can't sign in a third time or it will ask me if I want to sign out of all of the other computers that are licensed under my name. I've attached screenshots of what it shows.
I have already put the ae_render_only_node.txt file in the correct place as per the Adobe documentation (C:\Users\<myusername>\My Documents)
Any thoughts? I'm guessing I'm doing something dumb, but I just can't pinpoint it.
Thanks for any help!

One thing to check: in Windows Explorer, go to the Tools menu > Folder Options. Disable "Hide extensions for known file types". Having done so, is the file still named "ae_render_only_node.txt", or does it have an extra .txt on the end?
If not, what happens if you move the file to the alternate location? C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Adobe

    I downloaded adobe flash player as directed but still cannot open my teacher's email link, still asking for my adobe flash player.

    You have to download AND install Flash Player.  Did you run the downloaded Flash Player installer?

  • HT1311 im borrowing a friends ipod touch and want to add apps to it. i signed into my apple account but when i go to the app store it still asks for my friends password even though my apple ID account is signed in. any help?

    I'm borrowing a friend's iPod touch until I get another phone and I want to add some apps. I deleted all the apps that weren't needed and then I tried to add some of the apps that I need. I switched the Apple ID account on the iPod and the iCloud account to my own along with all the other apps (Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram, Skype, mail, YouTube, etc.) When i go to the Apple app store and try and update or download a new app it still asks for the old password. How do I get it so when I try and download new stuff it asks for MY password?

    It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
    As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
    At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

  • Why does multi-machine rendering work so poorly?

    more specifically, watch folder rendering with multi-machines is pointless because skipping a frame seeming to take as long as rendering the frame, so one machine can never catch up to the other.  why does skipping a frame take some long?  i mean it's been in the software for like 10 years. is this not considered important?

    These two features are not intended to be used together.
    Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing is intended to turn a single computer into a self-contained render farm of sorts. Multi-machine rendering is intended to use multiple computers in a render farm. Attempting to use these two items together is mixing two different organizational schemes for managing the rendering of frames.

    All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

  • My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

    My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.  How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether?  I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

    That Apple ID is stored inside those applications. Leave them as is and ask your friend to do the updating.

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

  • Installed XI trial and it's not letting me use it.  It's still asking for payment.

    Installed XI trial and it's not letting me use it.  It's still asking for payment.  I don't want to spend $200 on a product that I have no idea if it has the capability to do what I need it to do.  I need to edit adobe documents. No I don't have the original documents.  I'm downloading the docs offline as that is how I was told to retrieve them. It says they are adobe files but when I click "Save As" it automatically is saving them as .htm.  However, staying focused, they are adobe docs.

    Sounds like you are using the browser's Save As feature.  You need to
    either use the Adobe Reader plugin's Save feature
    or download the docs directly by right-clicking on the PDF links

  • Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked in the apple update menu and at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking f.ud?

    Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly the update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked as ready in the apple update menu and remarked as 1 to go at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking for update when its done like 5 times or more? Thanks for taking your time!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Why has photoshop cs6 extended been installed on my machine without me asking for it?

    Why has photoshop cs6 extended been installed on my machine without me asking for it? Now, every time I start photoshop, I get this splash screen that ask me to join CC, or "to license this software," or "to continue trial." How do I get rid of all this and get back to my "normal" photoshop CS6?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes there are server problems, downtimes, or security changes. Most problems with email are resolved by deleting the account from the iPad and then re-adding it.
