hi tboom, you probably haven't run the octaneserver.
before you can render with octane for blender, run the octaneserver first. it should be running in the background (an octanerender icon should appear in your taskbar notification area, at the lower right corner of your screen)...

Hi abreukers.
Thank You for response, and I apologize for my "clumsy" language in my posts :)
Unfortunately, I do not see the picture "octaneserver-blender_plugin.jpg" because I have info: You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
But I think I know what do You want to show me.

What i do:
- I start the demo octaneserver (it running in the background)
- I start the Blender version (downloaded from https://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/demo/ "Blender OctaneRender Edition (Win x64)")
- I change Engine to Octane Render
- I hit F12 for render simple cube (from start screen)
- and... nothing happened :(

Blender give me only one information: Wrong Render-server version at adrdress "127.0.0.1"

I have screen:

thanks for the screenshot, the server version doesn't match the blender octane edition demo build.

I just checked the demo versions at the demos page:
Blender Octane Edition - 9.3 (2.75).exe
Octane Server DEMO - 2.23.2 - 9.3.exe

those two should match, in your one the octane server it's not 2.23.2 - 9.3, thus you get the 'wrong renderserver version' error...
