How to export an AE project without AE installed in the system?

Question

I've recently done a few After Effect projects on my laptop and decided to use my school 7th Gen Core i7 computer to export as my laptop only rocks a 5th Gen Core i5, which will be dead if I continuously make it exports 4 compositions 3 hours each, which will be a total of 12hours. However, my school computer had AME installed but not AE. When I try to add the compositions into the AME queue, it says that it required AE to be installed on a system for it to encode. So, is there a way to export an AE comp on a system without AE installed? (My school computer did not allow install of additional software.) Thanks.

There is NO way to do what you want. I repeat -- NONE. You're stuck. Start rendering.

As Dace said - there is no way to do that. To export ae - does not matter if it is from AE directly, from AMe, with BG Renderer, render garden etc. you have to have AE instaled.
The only thing that I can figure out is to try to instal/hack AE to be installed and work as portable app on a usb pendrive (i've seen something like that with Gimp and Blender but i'm not sure if that is legal on the Adobe licensing side and I'm not sure if it is even possible. And the question is - is it worth it?
