The first stable version of the Octane Render for Carrara 2019.1 plugin has been posted to the top of this thread.

Well, I was trying to upgrade to version 4, but didn't realize that that's different than the 2019 version, Installed the 2019 version for both the standalone and the Carrara plugin, then realized I couldn't turn it on because I guess it requires and All-Access subscription, which I don't have. That threw me for a loop because I thought the upgrade from version 3 to 4 was free, and I guess it is, but I guess version 4 and version 2019 are just 2 different things entirely. So I went back and downloaded the standalone version of 4 and had no trouble turning that on (automatically recognized me as licensed) but when I try to download and install the Carrara plugin for 4 it gives an error message that I already have a newer version installed. How to uninstall the 2019 version? Is it as simple as deleting all the octane files in the carrara extension folder?

Lol, I'm an idiot, sorry please disregard my post above, I figured out how to uninstall 2019 version all of 5 minutes later for those who don't know, just run the uninstall program for 2019 again, it will recognized that it's already installed and give an option to remove). How embarrassing...
