Hi, the new activation system is a bummer. I use the same licence at my computer at home, and my computer at work, but if I forget to logout on one machine I cannot login to the other, that's a big problem, it means I cannot use Octane at all for a day...
Please add the option to force login like Steam does, or simply logout automatically if the same license is activated on another machine.
Am I the only one with this problem?
REQUEST: Force Login

Ah sorry, I missed that.
But the solution of using a remote desktop is not feasible, I cannot leave my computer at home running just in case I need to use Octane at work, that is stupid!
This new license system sucks!
Oh well, I guess I'll use VRay....

to me this is not convenient, I hope that something will change in the future, users have not upgraded to the new version and do not know that the activation is not convenient.Rikk The Gaijin wrote:Ah sorry, I missed that.

a couple of days ago, I was not able to deactivate, my internet was too weak and she did not want to activate on another workstation.

Hi,
The remote deactivation has been restored due to popular request
Just take into account this is for emergency use only:

In general you'll need to close Octane so your license gets released.
