Hi,I need help. I have two Octane licenses:

1x Octane Enterprise Maintenance 12 Month Extension
1x OctaneRender Enterprise+ Annual subscription

Now in the downloads section I find two different versions:

Octane Render Enterprise Standalone &
Octane Render Studio Standalone.

I don´t understand which version I need to install for each of my licenses.
On my workstation I want to run the Enterprise+ Annual subscription license (with Cinema 4D).
On my colleagues workstation I want to run the Maintenance 12 Month license (with Cinema 4D).

My other workstations should run as nodes. I figured that they should run the Enterprise Render Node installation.

Can someone enlighten me? Thx.

Ok, something sounds strange in what you have written, so please write to help at otoy dot com, sharing your Otoy username.
We need to check your account, but better not to share your data in the public forum.

Anyway, in general, Studio versions are limited to max 2x GPUs, without Net render and Offline mode, while Enterprise versions have no limitations, so better to install Enterprise versions in your case.

And for Net render with perpetual or subscription Enterprise licenses, you need to purchase extra Render-Node annual licenses for 99€, or pay monthly for 9.99€, per render-Node machine.

Render-Node license was included only in the old v4 Enterprise license.

Thanks Beppe,

I have installed the Enterpise edition + C4d plugin on both workstations.
Concerning render nodes: on the website it says the Enterpise+ subscription comes with 10+ render nodes. ("Unlimited Network Rendering: Includes 10+ OctaneRender Node licenses")
I thought that´s what the Enterprise Render Node installer is for.

Yes sorry, if you have an Enterprise Plus license, 10x Render-Nodes are included.

Happy Net GPU rendering!

ciao,
Beppe
