License Activation pre23 and Internet?

[chris_solo]

Hello I'm registered for version pre23 to get my ID and my password (in the login of the home page),
so when I start Octane render, I noticed that when the window of dialog appears to put them, it says it can't to connect to the server?
my computer should it necessarily have an internet connection to be able to run pre23 Octane render?
how to make this version works on my machine?

and so, is there a slightly more detailed documentation that came with version 22B?

thank you for your reply

From pre2.3 onward running Octane requires an internet connection.
This is done to access 'Octane live' features like sharing material macros, and also as anti piracy measure. This last unfortunately became necessary.
It is slightly inconvenient but not really a problem in practice.
You activate your license for your current pc and also can deactivate it to move it to another.
If you deactivate will need to wait - I think 30 mins - to reactivate it.
As far as I know there isnt any new documentation yet.
You will need to look through the RC testing forum posts
