SO everything is clean. Copy the CrowdRender zip file to some other location. DO NOT UNZIP it. Just copy it somewhere else. Delete your Blender directory. Reinstall Blender CLEAN. Copy the CrowdRender zip file to the Blender root directory. Do not place it into another directory. Open BLENDER, Go to Edit\Preferences\Add-ons. In the upper right hand corner of the screen, click on the INSTALL button, go to the BLENDER directory you just installed and click on the CrowdRender zip file. In the Lower Right hand corner click on INSTALL Add-on. In the Lower left hand of the screen save you preferences. In the BLENDER Modelling screen, click on the RENDER (Small camera, lower rightish) icon scroll down and click on start. You should be good to go.

Yes, that helps, thanks! I forgot about the location and remember seeing it under the Add On. Gilligan moment.

Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking the same workaround as you put forth. Where does CR save the animation when it is completed? I was used to 2.79b Net Render and it letting you save the animation file to a directory of your choosing.

It was me. I started from the beginning and now I have everything up and running. I do not know exactly where I messed up, but I did. Everything got reinstalled clean from an image, and Crowd Render is now recognizing all the Nodes and is syncing properly. Thanks for your help and looking forward to testing it out. Great Work guys! Thanks!

Is this the correct Crowd Render support site? Has this project been shutdown? Is there some other site that will provide support?

In looking at this again, I noticed that if I configure one Node, CR does not seem to have a problem connecting to it and synching to it. If I then add a second Node, it adds it to the Node display box, CR appears to "Resync" itself but the original Node that was "Synch'd", goes into "Upload" mode, never returns to "Synch'd" and the additional Node that I configured stays greyed out. Hitting "Resync" gives the same result. I configured all three of my Nodes one by one and had the same result. The original Node sync's, secondary Nodes stays greyed out, and original goes into "Upload" mode. If I delete the Node that stays greyed out, do a "Connect" the original Node will then "resync". All three nodes and the Master are running Linux Mint XFCE. All have the same Blender version (2.80) and CR_021_bl280 installed. All on local home network. Any help would be appreciated.
