I am trying to activate my Octane 2.x license.
Octane Standalone activation works , but Octane 3dsmax plugin can´t be activated because "could not connect to server". What could be the reason for that?

Holy christ!!! How could I miss that? I already converted it to VRay....
THANKS!!!!

btw. i am using Octane plugin version 2232.191.

Is it really possible, that none of those 184 poeple that viewed my post has ever encountered / heard of this problem?
Otoy Team please help me, we are in the middle of a project, that should be finished end of the week.
Thanks in advance!

another example:

Why is my dispalcement texture showing artefacts that derive apparenty from the polygons of the underlying object?

Damn, i still use V2.xxx wich does not support this feature.....
