Peter - I recommend not authenticating OctaneVR on a PC which already has Octane commercial version running. The two do not run side-by-side. You can only have one PC authenticated to one of either OctaneVR or Octane commercial, so when you authenticate OctaneVR, Octane commercial gets un-authenticated (and vie-visa). Octane Standalone 2.22.2 will only run with an authenticated Octane commercial license, and OctaneVR (2.23) will only run with an authenticated OctaneVR license.
