Plugin Activation

The OctaneRender™ for Carrara plugin requires internet access to launch the first time. Internet access is not required to use both OctaneRender™ and OctaneRender™ for Carrara plugin. When no internet access is present, the Live Database will not be accessible.

Upon launching the plugin for the first time, the user will need to log in to their OctaneLive™ account which is associated with their forum log-in information. This information can be found in the customer section of the OctaneRender™ website.

All subsequent renderings will not need log in information entered.

Your OctaneRender license can only be active on one machine at a time. If you wish to transfer your license to another machine, you will have to deactivate it on the current machine and reactivate it on the other one, (re-activation might cause a slight delay). In case of difficulty, contact us here.
