Licensing Question

Remind me why there are LW License packs? I thought you had to have combo license to use LW+Octane,especially with LWSN.exe rendering. When would you be able to just use LW plugin with Octane without stand alone?

Hi,

The Octane plugins can't work without a Standalone license for each one, but you could already have the Standalone licenses purchased with other plugins, or for a render farm. In any case, usually, if you buy a LightWave licenses pack, you must also buy a Standalone licenses pack to work with them.

Thanks,

So to clarify, if I want to render via LW network rendering (not octane) using LWSN.exe Screamernet with Octane I will always need a Combo LW+Octane Stand alone correct?

Yes, LWSN works using the LightWave plugin, so it needs a full combo license (plugin+standalone). Only if you render using the native Octane network rendering you can use a single Standalone license in the render nodes.
