This issue will be solved in the next license upgrade very soon.
ciao Beppe

I have to agree with Teknick up there, it is a mess and a nightmare for indie studios and freelancers.
Just finished a project with different artists with different accounts and we had to drop octane in favor of Redshift because we couldn't find a version to suit everyone and exchange project files accordingly.

Please make it easier. This is confusing, and a deal breaker for collaboration.

Plugins need to be sorted out too. E.g. poser plugin version 2019.1.0.95 (regular) now checks for updates and just refuses to authenticate itself, saying "please update". And there is no way to update since there is no regular version of plugin available to download.

The Poser plugin was available for Octane 2019.1.2 early October, so you should have an upgrade path. If you are on the Regular/Perpetual license, then you need to revert back to Octane 4.05 which I updated 2 weeks ago.

Thanks

any updates on this topic? for example when this will be introduced?

updated to 4.02 because daz 4.12 forced me to use it instead of 4.0 and seemingly networkrendering with more than 1 slave isnt working any longer in this version.... pretty sure its a mistake, still annoying to uninstall and reinstall older versions everywhere

Hi - there is an Octane 4.04 version of the DAZStudio plugin that you could use.

Very sad that my current license, All Access Yearly Subscription is no longer available and has been replaced only with $20 monthly single plugin version.

Hmm, i see Rent (proper term this time, thanks Otoy) and Buy options currently in my Login page.

But part i don't understand is are there option to have perpetual octane 2019.x version for us who payed AA after v4 upgrade and asked for perpetual and not rent. Goldorak seemed to hint that our entprise AA will be converted to perpetual 2019.x version, i Just don't see any option in my login page, maybe someone form customer service could explain us more in detail how that works now ?

I'd gladly pay for 2020 perpetual version + year of maintenance NOW (says 199 EUR pe rlicense - not seeing any BF discount there ?) but only if i know that I "got" 2019.x verison currently as perpetual when i payed AA for my 3 licenses after v4 upgrade...

Thanks

What about ORC subscription in rental option ? Is it include ?

Hi Goldorak,

Last year I upgrade to 3-year AA that will give the rent to own with perpetual option. Will my standalone and 4 plugins that I own will revert back to a perpetual license at the end 2021. Now that we have Enterprise perpetual license will my current license for standalone and 4 plugins be converted? Can you explain what is my current license to perpetual situation now?

I'm so confused about the subscriptions.
I currently use both C4d and Houdini and when i got a studio subscription i only gained access to one plugin.
Now i wanted access to houdini also which required me to purchase another studio subscription that left me with an unused standalone subscription as i don't need two of those.

Now i went to store page and it says studio subscription includes access to all plugins for 20$/month but im currently still billed 40$/Month and only have access to C4d and Houdini plugins.

Am i really required to first cancel both my subscriptions and then purchase a new subscription OF THE SAME NAME in order to not pay double for 2 plugins instead of them all.

For as long as i have been a customer to Otoy the information about what you get and what to buy has been absurdly hard to understand and now that its finally a bit clearer they don't even post about it and continue to bill existing customers while giving them less then anyone who now gets the subscription.

Can we get some clarification on this because i'm just super lost.
