multiple vworks licenses, but only 1 renderworks

[aidlin darling 0]

I've got 6 VWorks licenses to share in a small office, Mac OSX.

We recently got Renderworks, but only need one copy. It's not a major part of our daily routine, but it would be nice if everyone can use it periodically as needed for specific projects.

However, it seems that I can't have VWorks and RWorks serial numbers in the same app, which leaves me the following options:

1. Try a parallel install, so each machine has both Vworks and Rworks installed as separate apps. (Haven't tried that yet, but I presume it works.) Slightly irritating to have to do, but manageable.

2. Dedicate only one machine for Rworks. Very irritating, since we don't have a spare machine for this purpose, and if we did it would sit unused 95% of the time.

Is there a way to have Rworks installed on each machine, but not activate the Rworks-specific features on more than one at a time? Is there another option that I haven't thought of, and/or does anyone have suggestions on the above two scenarios?
