Now that I'm learning when I decided to try the latest version of OctaneCarrara that it relies on a different license than my old perpetual license, so I only got it working because I 'rented' a Studio license for a month. Maybe the Studio license has other limitations of what it can do? Or maybe I ...

Oh mine presents the same, I'm not having trouble there. It's in the Scene tab, when I want to (for example) switch the Octane renderer type to PMC from direct, all of that area is greyed out.

Oh man, I'm really confused now... I just looked closer at the About/Activate window and it shows that my Carrara plugin no longer shows as perpetual license but instead is showing that it will expire in about 5 weeks. So I'm guessing that the Studio 'rental' I purchased last night and then ...

Well, it is true that the 'Activate' button on the About/Activate window is indeed greyed out, but I think that's just because it's already activated. The Octane render window comes up and renders just fine now, I just can't really change the environment or the render target, which is inside the ...

New question, I found that the place where you can fiddle with the Octane Environment settings and where you can change the render target (the place where you can switch the types of rendering done) which is located in the 'Effects' tab of the carrara Scene when selected from the instances tray ...

Thanks protovu, ultimately it was good advice to reach out to tech support, which I eventually did, but not before trying everything else I could think of in frustration. I even bought a subscription rental for Studio for a month, and even that didn't work. I thought 'hey it's only 20 dollars, let's ...

I don't really know why my plugin deactivates itself, but it seems once again I'm stuck trying to figure out how to activate my carrara plugin and can't for the life of me figuring out why it won't activate. I've tried unlocking on the license page in my account for both the standalone and the ...

I'm really, really behind the times, but I finally got a chance to come back to my old hobby, and playing catch up. Just installed version 4 after upgrading and it works great! :) Loving the denoiser function, just wow! Thank you very much for the hard work! Now I'm curious what the heck version ...

Lol, I'm an idiot, sorry please disregard my post above, I figured out how to uninstall 2019 version all of 5 minutes later for those who don't know, just run the uninstall program for 2019 again, it will recognized that it's already installed and give an option to remove). How embarrassing...

Well, I was trying to upgrade to version 4, but didn't realize that that's different than the 2019 version, Installed the 2019 version for both the standalone and the Carrara plugin, then realized I couldn't turn it on because I guess it requires and All-Access subscription, which I don't have. That ...
