Q: How can I upgrade apple remote desktop to administer more computers?

I need to administer 14 computers and 5 network printers from my iMac. I have Apple Remote Desktop Admin which allows me to administer up to 10 IP addresses. I would like to upgrade for more capacity. Is 3.6.1 the version which allows unlimited computers to be administered? The Apple online advertising indicates that it does. If this is true, I have 3.6.1 bit I am still limited to administering only 10. Any help is appreciated.

Mac OS X (10.7.4)

The least expensive way is to buy a new copy of Apple Remote Desktop from the Mac App Store. That release is for unlimited clients (the number of clients is not related to the numerical version of the ARD admin app). You'll need to uninstall the current version of ARD first, I believe. See:
