'A Valid Internet connection is required to activate this copy of Octane'

What the hell is this? Octane worked a few weeks ago and now it doesn't work? I am on a workplace computer so I 100% can not change firewall settings and I 100% shouldn't have to...

The UI seems to be just knackered in the latest C4D. The drop downs have no names next to them.

Octane Sky is just broken the tab where you actually edit the texture is just completely missing.
