3ds max design 2014 freezes when opening the octane viewport

I have a scene with nearly a million polygons modeled with Rhion + grasshopper.
The objects in the scene have been broken down to three different obj files in rhino and imported as obj. The first obj file I didn't import it as one geometry because I wanted to work on the textures but the others are one object (roof structure and the city model). and most of the objects are frozen.

when I try to open the octane viewport, it completely freezes, although when I check with EVGA precision x, my GPU are working hard.

So I thought this was due to the vram size of my GPUs (2G) but when I try to render with Octane 2.06, it works.

I would still like to work within 3ds max (hence I bought the plugin recently) so that I can import cameras from rhino, have multiple viewports arranged and keyframe stuff as well as populate the scene and so forth.

Is there a way to check why max freezes when I open the octane view port? is it possible that its because there are too many objects in the scene? It is a pre-texture scene with just the geometry.

This always happens to me when there is something funky with the license.

For last few days 3ds max design seem to freeze but now it seems to be working fine. I guess I will never know what the problem was.. but can't complain when problems solve themselves!
