Thanks Goldorak...
But as far as I can see, those FAQ do not answer the question about the single DCC plugin, in this case, the Lightwave plugin.... is that a free upgrade for V4 too or a paid upgrade, even if Octane itself is a free upgrade?
For Octane 2018 onwards, it sounds a lot like you want to go subscription only, but then I spotted:
"How can I get a perpetual licence to Octane 2018.1 or later?
Owning Octane is clearly important to many current boxed licence users, and we're working to support such a model for updates beyond V4."
The reason I wouldn't want to go subscription is that especially with the sort of recession we are having here in UK with Brexit crap, projects have been far harder to come by with clients even attempting to do work inhouse. We've actually won zero 3D projects this year at all. I don't want be paying monthly subscriptions for 4 nodes if they are not being used. I'd prefer to just pay up front for perpectual license and know we are good to go when needed.
