Sorry, only in for the current supported Octane 2019.x builds. All the code updated and added to the plugin to support H18.0 is too complex to revert it back to the old plugin builds.

Thanks,

How about in future? If it doesn't support in future, that means I gotta abandon all my project files I've made in Octane. Now I have to go Redshift. =(

As you could understand, we can't support old Octane plugin builds forever. Nobody makes that. The current Octane version under development is Octane 2019.x, that already has a proper plugin build for Houdini 18.0, so if you want to stay updated and work with Houdini 18.0, you need to upgrade your license to work with these latest Octane 2019.x builds.

Thanks,

I think that Otoy is thinking about adding permanent licenses for Octane 2019.x and beyond.

Thanks,

Tell me please, Octane 2019 will work with new USD context? With super fantastically handy light-tuning tools Houdini 18?

Thanks for the reply Juanjo. I understand nobody makes that.
Just sad that my perpetual license is now useless. It was good till it lasted.
When I decided to go with perpetual instead of subscription, I didn't realize I was buying a perpetual with expiration date. Kinda defeats the purpose of shelling out a lump sum.

Hopefully Otoy will come up with a better upgrade option than they have now. Anyway, thanks for your help in this, Juanjo. I appreciate it.

You can update your current 4.0 perpetual license to the upcoming Octane 2020.x version getting also a perpetual license:
