You can run the current version of Burn on render node hardware purchased from Autodesk and running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or on third-party nodes running CentOS, as long as they meet the minimum requirements below. Installing Burn on Visual Effects and Finishing workstations is not supported. Install Burn only on dedicated render nodes.
