Octane licensing Tweet

[HHbomb]

Who made such an incomprehensible licensing scheme at Otoy ? I want some names !!!!

[Rik]

Ha. Yes, definitely some head scratching going on here too.

Paride - If I have a v 4 licence how do I keep using Octane.

Is there a date when I need to but/rent something by?

Does the following mean I need to pay £199 every year, be it perpetual or rental

"access to future perpetual license upgrades beyond Octane 2020.x (so long as maintenance is continuously extended without interruption)"

How much to use 3 graphics cards as opposed to 2?

Hi Rik,
V4 perpetual licenses will require an annual maintenance upgrade in order to use Octane 2019 (provides access to future perpetual license upgrades beyond Octane 2020.x)
You would consider to:
Upgrade your legacy V4 perpetual licenses to V2020.x perpetual licenses:
12 Month Extension 499 €
24 Month Extension 699 €
-Go to https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/purchase/
-Select "Enterprise Maintenance Upgrade" in the top menu.
-Click on "Upgrade Now" next to "Upgrade legacy V4 perpetual licenses to 2020.x perpetual licenses."
-Select the licenses you want to upgrade and confirm.
or
purchase Octane Enterprise Maintenance legacy V4 (or V4 AA) perpetual:
12 Month Extension 199 €
24 Month Extension 349 €
Octane Enterprise Maintenance allows you to get continuous access to all future updates and new features beyond OctaneRender V4.

Thanks for that.

What's the difference between "2020.x perpetual licenses" and "Access to Octane 2019 and any future versions of Octane throughout the duration of your subscription"

What gets limited to 2 graphics cards?
