I have no idea what happened. I click the ENABLE in LW and it doesn't do anything. Doesn't list an error message, nothing. Clicks and does nothing. Checked the log, nothing. Check Otoy and my subscription is active. Single computer. No apparent issues. I was literally working all day non-stop and then after a reboot, this happens. Is there anything I can do to force make it ENABLE?

UPDATE.

I loaded LW. this time didn't load anything. Just clicked ENABLE for an empty scene. THAT WORKED. It enables. However when I then load my scene. It disables again. I cannot get it to enable. Again, no error. Just click and it acts like I've not even clicked it. So this time after my scene was loaded, I went to Render Globals. Set Render engine from octane to VPR. Now I clicked the enable button. THAT WORKED. What the heck?!?!

Perhaps you had clicked one of the "Switch to" buttons. If you "Switch to LW" the scene unloads the Octane plugin to render the scene using the native engine, but once in this state you need to use the "Switch to Octane" button to reload it, or as you have found, enable the plugin again directly in the render globals.

Thanks,

No. Never clicked any Switch to.
