Requirements for using parfor across multiple desktop PCs

I have several desktop PCs running Windows, connected over a network, all with access to a common file system. I would like to distribute computation across these PCs using parfor. Other than what I've stated already, what other requirements are there for the master PC and the other (worker) PCs, in terms of hardware, software and licenses (including licenses for MathWorks products)?

You need a licensed copy of MATLAB and the Parallel Computing Toolbox on the PC running the parfor loop, and you need a licensed copy of the Distributed Computing Server running on a server on your network, able to schedule jobs on networked computers.
