Why does it say that I'm not autorized to view the topics you are linking to? I can download the plugin version of V4-RC2 but can't seem to get a hold of the standalone version? I'm a paying customer btw! :)

So octane 4 plugins will be free. Are they free now as beta?

No they are not free in beta phase.
Only when v4 will be officially published, the licenses will be updated.

Can you say something about the timing of new licensing system once v4 is stable? Will there be immediatley access to the new features (possible network rendering for perpetual license holder) or will we have to wait again?

I'm trying to implement some GPUs in my network but don't want to spend 300$ on a licensewhen stable v4 is just around the corner. But if it takes another couple of weeks until you offer the new tiers, I probably have no choice.

I was wondering pretty much the same things - been really enjoying tinkering with the octane demo, but not quite willing to splash out knowing theres a free license tier on the horizon.
Any information/guesstimates about v4's availability would be great!

Hello.
I use Octane 4 for a while. It's pretty good to render animations.
I can't open it any more, see attached file.
What happened? Did I miss something?
Thank you for your help...
