I have tried the deactivation and reactivation - no luck
and as I said before, this hasn't even been installed elsewhere !

Thanks
- Have you the same activation errors right after Octane is started?
- What do you see in the "OctaneLive Account" tab of Octane settings, can you make the screenshot?
- Does the IPR render work (do you see the rendered image in the RenderView)?

Jimstar,

There are no errors on Octane startup .
Renderview and IPR work perfectly.

Thanks
Rory

And do you still have the same lines in batch output?

Code: Select all

Error: line 1: Error starting Octane engine: This account is currently activated on another machine. Please deactivate it on the other machine first and wait 30 minutes before re-activating it on this machine, or activate another account/license on this machine.
Error: line 1: Error activate Octane engine: This account is currently activated on another machine. Please deactivate it on the other machine first and wait 30 minutes before re-activating it on this machine, or activate another account/license on this machine.
Or is it something else error now?..

I managed to get it to work -
Chris on Support got me to try a beta Octane - that still didn't work,
but when I tried the beta plugin - it all worked.

So it seems that the release version of both are not working together ?
So for the meantime I have reverted to the last Beta of both.

Not ideal but it works

Thanks

Hi Rory,

Could you maybe let me know what version of the standalone and maya plugin you are using (that works for batch rendering)? I'm having the same issue, and would love to be able to work while they resolve the issue.

Thanks so much. :)

Thanks for the reply, Rory.
I'm not sure where to grab those versions...I looked for the older version of the Octane Standalone in its respective area, but the closest I could find was 2.58d.
Also, I can't seem to locate any older versions of the Maya plugin, as they all just say "next version here", or something to that effect.
Did you have to contact support by some means to get links & get up and running?
