Using Maya, there are two ways to set up network rendering.
Each Maya license allows you to render in Maya interactively on one machine and run batch rendering on five machines. You can therefore perform mental ray for Maya rendering on up to 6 machines.
Batch rendering licenses are per host, so you can use all cores on one machine for each batch render. Batch rendering licenses are only available for network licenses.
