Hi,
I have a licensed subscription installed on C4D. I render out a lot of my works via a render-farm (remote desktop type deal), which requires me to sign out on my local network and login in to the remote network to render. While rendering on the remote server, I am unable to use or preview my local version.

Is there a way that I perhaps install the demo version to run on my local machine as well, so I can continue to work, modeling, texturing, lighting etc while my license is registered to the remote machine and rendering?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes sure, if you install the Demo version of c4doctane, you are limited to 1000x700 pixel in rendering, with watermark, but you can continue to edit your scenes, and save your progress.
Here is the direct link to the latest Demo version 2019.1.1-R2:

Happy GPU Rendering,

The issue I was having was having both installed on the same version of C4D, on the same machine?
I wasn't able to have them both as a plugin at the same time.

You cannot have some version installed in the same version of c4d, at the same time. You need different copies of c4d, with a different version of plugin for each one.
