Which versions of Cinema 4D are supported by Deadline?

Cinema 4D 9.x and 10.x are supported.

Sometimes when I open the submission dialog in Cinema 4D, the pool list or category list are empty.

Simply close the submission dialog and reopen it to repopulate the lists.

Does rendering with Cinema 4D with Deadline use up a full Cinema 4D license?

Yes.

Can Deadline render with Cinema 4D's Net Render Client, which would allow me to use render licenses instead of full licenses?

No. At this time, it isn't possible for 3rd party software such as Deadline to control Cinema 4D's Net Render Client software.

My frames never seem to finish rendering. When I the slave machine, it doesn't appear to be doing anything.

This can occur if Cinema 4D hasn't been licensed yet. Try starting Cinema 4D normally on the machine and see if you are prompted for a license. If you are, configure everything and then try rendering on that machine again.
