Hi!

It seems like there is no upgrade path from v4 for people without credit cards now?
I bought the previous licenses with paypal, but now I'm stuck.

- I can't get a subscription, because that's only Paypal + Credit Card ( as per FAQ ).
- it looks like I can't upgrade from v4 to Enterprise either because that asks me for a Credit Card too?

Are there any other options or am I missing something ? Did you guys drop Paypal Support completely ?

I also asked support. Here's the response for anyone with the same issue:

Hello Mariusz,
I apologize - our customers experienced much issues with PayPal sow e moved to a credit card or debit card payment system. At this time, we cannot accept PayPal payments but we are looking forward to adding it in the future.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have any further queries.

Kind regards,
Gabriele
Octane Support Team


So I guess that's it for me then.
It's a bummer. I was looking foreward to Houdini and the upcoming Solaris Plugin.

Might be a good idea to let people know that every purchase is CC only now on the website though.
