Hi,
if you own an Enterprise Combo Standalone + C4D v4 license, and want to upgrade to 2018, you need to upgrade your licenses following these steps:

• 1. go to the Otoy Buy page here.
• 2. press the Upgrade in the top menu.
• 3. choose between one (199$), or two (399$) annual maintenance plan.
• 4. press the Buy button, and complete the purchase.

ciao Beppe

Hey Aoktar,

the build feels stable right now. I've even updated my licence and hope that there is more new stuff coming in the future.
I seemed to have found a bug in the specular material: The sheen values don't do anything to the material, although I know the effect they should do. Also I am not sure if bump and normal inputs are supposed to be there (could be), if so the sheen and roughness inputs are missing.

By the way, I have not figured out how to use the SDF or even what it does. Is it implemented fully yet? I would really like to see a documentation or something.

Greetings

Welcome to the new Otoy licensing system.

explain, when the maintenance period will end the user will not be able to fully use your plugin?

RS can fully use it when the maintenance license is over.

Hi VVG,
as far as I know, the plan is to go back to v4, after the annual maintenance period is ended, similar to Adobe CC.

RS's locked license is including one year of maintenance. You can download any versions in this one year period, after that it's 250$ for continuing the maintenance.
Otoy offered a free upgrade for V3 users for V4 if you remember. Did you pay for upgrade for V4?

Thanks bepeg4d for your explanations that assure me of the choice to follow for my case.

In this thread, is alluded to a "V5". Is Octane 2018.1 = V5?

Can someone tell me if the new licencing system is includes the use of a render node?

Until now I had two standalone v4-licences - one for my workstation and one for the render node.

If I need a seperate licences for my node: Do I have to buy two enterprise licences for 199$ each?

Thanks - Ron

Hey Everyone,

Just a little warning not to upgrade to this during a production. I installed it and the lights/render come out different than in v4. So I had to change back to v4 for the remainder of this job so everything matches.
Just fyi.

Hi,
After upgrading one of your Combo license to Enterprise All Access, you will be able to use any future version without restrictions for one year, and also have an extra Slave node license for Network rendering, so you don’t need to upgrade also the other license.
You need to download the Standalone Enterprise version for the extra Slave node.
