everything you have written is correct, with the exception that only the first perpetual license upgrade for v4 will cost 499€.
The next Annual Extension with Perpetual license upgrade will cost 349€, or 199€ if you prefer to stay with 2020 license at the end of the extension.
Happy GPU rendering,

Thank you. I suppose i will go into that Studio subscription then. Actually, i tried yesterday already, but it wrote my card got declined, but then i found out my internet-banking to be down at that moment, so perhaps that was the reason. Cause it shows the card number now in my account payment specs and it says its valid.
Going to try again now and see, hopefully it will work just fine.
One more question, i am used to use Octane standalone, never had any plugin. Now i am suppose, if i understand that correctly, i am going to get access to plugin, and no doubt it will have its benefits, the geometry instancing and whatnot. But i expect it will require bit of tinkering, to learn to use it integrated into modeling app - unless it opens some separate window looking completely like Standalone, from where i can do all the usual stuff. Anyway, is there still standalone version for the latest Octane, the one i am going to get access to? So i can just open the scene i saved in 4.05 and render in new one, literally plug and play, except now using the Ampere card (and RT)?
EDIT: Ok, tried again, payment failed again, reason: card declined. I realized now, its maybe because i tried to pay with my debit, rather than credit card. It usually works for everything else, apple, steam, etc... Anyway, wanted to purchase once again, with credit card now, it wont let me! It will just open a window saying Purchase - Subscription being processed. So am i supposed to wait 24 hours to find out what i already know - i suppose i know? I kinda want/need to work.
Meanwhile, if i go through the Subscriptions page of my account and click Extend maintenance for licenses - that seems to proceed. Can you confirm again, this is the same thing as renting that Studio subscription? At this point i am bit afraid to try to purchase third time, in case those 2 failed attempts already were not failures in the end, just still being processed.
EDIT: So i contacted support and problem solved. Installing 2020 now
Seems there is both standalone and plugin, great!
