Guessing/hoping you meant to send me to the upgrade page rather than purchase?

https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/purchase/ then click on UPGRADE

So the upgrade page seems to offer 2 options;


OctaneRender® Enterprise All-Access Annual Extension
this is your right choise.

1) What’s the difference between them as they appear to be same price?
it's upgrade your license from V3 to V4 before purchase All-Access Annual Extension, you just did it.

2) Do both options have Vectron?
yes

3) Do both options have NVLink and RTX core support
yes

4) How many GPUs do each version allow?
40 GPUs

5) Do we keep them after the 1 or 2 years extension or revert back to v4, thus losing support for the new features and ability to use scenes created during the paid extension period.
2019 will allow a perpetual license.

6) Do we pay to upgrade just our standalone versions – changing them to ‘all access’ version?
Yes, OctaneRender plugins require an OctaneRender Standalone Edition license to function.

Feel like I’d be paying for access to a lot of plugins I’ve never and will never use. Is there not a discount for only needing 1 plugin?
No

7) Also, I have no need for Render Slaves or ORC, is there an Octane Lite?
No

8)How much will another extension be after 1 and 2 years? Is there any advantage to a 2 year extension like maybe avoiding a price hike?
I don't know.

Thanks Paride, much appreciated.

Is there any benefit to going for a 2 year extension over getting a 1 year one?

You pay one cent more than ordering it for one year.

Hi Paride,
We currently have 5 licenses. We made some switches and we now have 1 master with 5 gpus and 2 slaves with 10 gpus in each. Are two licenses enough to upgrade?
Right now each slave holds its own license and I read somewhere all in one access comes with 1 master and 1 slave. Will one license split for two PCs?
Thanks

Hi coilbook,
yes, AA OctaneRender Enterprise All-Access Annual Extension provides a secondary render slave per license.
