Here I don't have any problem with H17.5 and the licensing. The license should be activated automatically when you launch an Octane rendering (from the IPR, for example). If you have problems, I wonder if you have installed the right plugin version for your license (Entreprise or Studio) ...

I'm installing this Octane_2018.1.0.7_Houdini_Win64_vr which is the studio subscription, it is the same version I have installed for 4.01.1.1, 4.02.0.0 and 2018.1.0.6 for instance, I just started H17 and there the license still works for 2018.1.0.6
it just says it can't find my license, but something is certainly not correct. I think it thinks im trying to activate the all access standalone, which im not obviously.. my env path etc is copied from H17 and just renamed to match the new version so I don't fully understand how it would load something wrong, but maybe?
I mean I must be doing something wrong I will try and install it again fresh.
EDIT1: yes I can see when I cross reference the License name it is referring to in the error box, it's to the all access subscription, which I don't have, as I have a studio houdini subscription, but none of the previous builds has done this?
EDIT2: I just tried loading the 2018.1.0.7 version into my H17 which worked perfectly fine with .6 before, and I get the same error, so there is something in the latest build that isn't accepting my license type I'm guessing?
