Hi there,
I've been using Octane on and off over the last couple of years. I do own a perpetual Octane v4 license (initially purchased as a Cinema4D plugin), but have been mostly using the monthly rental instead when I needed it.
I have now started to use Octane more regularly again and would therefore like to update my perpetual v4 license. When I follow the update link (https://render.otoy.com/shop/upgrade.php), I am offered the choice to upgrade to v2020 perpetual.
Now I've got two questions:
1) My Octane v4 perpetual license is currently restricted to Cinema4D only. Once I upgrade to v2020, will my perpetual license still be tied to Cinema4D, or will I be able to use for example the Houdini or Unreal plugins after my maintenance plan has run out?
2) Octane has now reached v2021. If I upgrade my v4 license now, will I automatically 'jump' to a perpetual v2021 license, or would I have to upgrade twice, in order to reach the most recent version? In that case buying an entirely new license would work out the same (which would of course be a shame).
Thanks for letting me know
