Also, now I own the standard studio license, my next renewal will be on may 2023, so if I upgrade today to the studio+ with the black friday deal, all the pre-payd months from here to may will be lost?

Thank you

Hi Beppe, hey Otoy,
there is still an "extend maintenance for licenses" button on my account site. It is EUR 199 (instead of 187,92 for a Studio+). Would it do the same, order a new BF Sub?
Because else I would have to wait some 1 or 2 weeks to extend the existing sub wich drops on 07.12. And if ordered earlier, I wouldn't know if these are 2 subs then instead of one extended.So how do I extend my existing sub(s)?

Hey @bepeg4d,

thank you for the additional information!

However, there's something I haven't found any info about.

1) Is the price (15.99) going to change, once the first year is over?
2) The license I'm currently using will renew in August 2023. If I upgrade today to Studio+, all the months that are already paid for, from today to August, will be lost?
3) In case, I decide not to upgrade to Studio+. Will my "standard" all-access license continue to work?`

While I highly appreciate the amazing bundle, the licensing is still kinda obscure - at least to me.

Thank you in advance,
Gregor

Hi all,
the licenses offer and Shop page were needing a simplification!

So now there is only one type of Studio+ license, with all the features of the more expensive license (Enterprise+), but with the price of the cheapest previous license (Studio) and without any limitation :o

Please note that the extra software is already available in the new Downloads/Applications section:
https://render.otoy.com/account/downloads.php#core

Now we have Cascadeur, EmberGenFX, Architron, Mol 3D, World Creator Octane edition, Sculptron, and UX3D gITF Scene Toolkit!

Only GSG, KitBush and World Creator Standalone BF offers are only available during Black Friday, but it was exactly the same the past year.

Standalone 2021.1 stable is already available only as Studio+ license version, plugins will follow shortly:
viewtopic.php?f=24&t=80814

And if you have already a Studio or Enterprise license, you can already use new Studio+ versions without issues!

If your Annual subscription is going to expire in these days, to avoid issues, my suggestion is to cancel it, and then purchase the new BF Studio+ offer.

About Perpetual licenses are no more purchasable.

Happy GPU rendering!

ciao,
Beppe

HI there

I need an urgent response to this as I don't think I've done this right. I just cancelled my monthly to take advantage of the black friday discount, but when I selected the discount, it gave me the choice to pay yearly or monthly. It seems GSG is only available if you pay yearly? (If so, the option that flashes up AFTER you click the button to choose how you pay shouldn't be there as it's misleading). If so, how do I go about refunding my monthly payment that I just made for the new Octane+ and purchase a year?

I need to do this today otherwise I'll miss the deal!

The Black Friday Studio+ special price is only for Annual subscription.

About GSG, only Annual licenses purchased during the 2022 Black Friday sale will receive one year of Greyscalegorilla Plus. Please note that this coupon is only redeemable by new Greyscalegorilla Plus customers and returning OTOY Black Friday 2021 customers, who renew using the code before their auto renewal date. The coupon cannot be redeemed to renew any other current Greyscalegorilla Plus account.

It was the same also with past Black Friday 2021 offer, if you purchase an Annual subscription in a differnt period of the year, you cannot have the GSG offer.

ciao,
Beppe

About Perpetual licenses, they are no more purchasable, but you can continue to purchase the annual extension.
But at the same price, you can have new Studio+ license with a lot of extra software, and 10x Render-Node included.

Happy GPU rendering!

ciao,

Many Thanks Beppe
