If you have 2019 already then you have this too, it’s part of the same plan. Have you contacted helpdesk?

I see... and is there any limitation with regards to amount of GPU's I can use on a workstation?
No limitations.

Thanks for the clarification..one more question though if you dont mind..

I have 4 workstations in my office... If I buy 1 upgrades @199 can i use the 3 other pcs and use network rendering to tap onto the other 3 machine's GPUs? but with the latest 2020 version of the first one?

i'm actually planning now to upgrade only 2 of the licenses to 2020... but i'd like to be able to use the other 2 workstations GPU's thru network rendering that will still have v4 perpetual installed...is that possible?

Hi! Denoising is working find on my machine :

No it's not, might be on one of those silly vectron things, but not on geometry or hair.... I've tried many scenes, each using different features - no denoising is happening.

Are you sure you are using 2020 ?

Just be sure you're not using the PMC Kernel.

So basically this is the timeline:
2015 - I purchased 2.x OCTANE/C4D combo licence.
2016 - purchased the upgrade from 2.x to 3.x
2018 august - purchased houdini plugin licence
2018 november - got the free upgrade to 4.x
2018 december - purchased OctaneRender All-Access Pass(1 year)
2019 december is when my maintenance plan ends and i since 2018.x/2019.x is not backwards compatible with Octane 4, i cant use my files unless i get another maintenance plan for 199/349€.
And next year its gonna be the same shit unless i get maintenance extension since i don't have a Enterprise Box License.

this is my concern as well... i own 4 v4 licenses and basically im stuck with them unless i either 500EUR for each to have an upgrade to perpetual 2020 or 200EUR to have just one year..so if I want to use the new files after one year..im gonna be screwed unless I pay more... or I pay the 500EUR for perpetual...to which im also screwed if in the future octane changes to the point that previous working files will not be compatible as well as they state right in the first post...

Im at an impasse dont know what to do

I still don't get how price works. It's super confusing, I don't even know what I bought last year but I just have "x days left" on top of octane render.
Will I be able to use the new Octane features with this ?

Aslo, any ETA for the C4D Plugin ? This release is really cool
