Am I doing something really dumb here??

// Error: Error activate Octane plugin: Invalid OctaneLive plugin account or wrong liveId / password combination.

Maya has stupid UI which does not switch the focus from the input field if you press the UI button when this field is active. You must explicitly get out from the field by "Tab" or by "Enter" to lose its focus. And before the field loses focus - it does not change the attribute which is bound to it... Stupid, but I can't change it - it's how Maya's UI works...
So, in your case - you had the ID attribute set, but the password attribute not set when pressed the "Activate" button.

Cool
Got it
Thanks

OK I thought I was set...

I have entered the correct values and tabbed and entered then hit activate... I keep getting the same errror.

I think what you are saying is Maya does not take the field as filled until you hit enter and go to another field.

i.e. fill User ID ... hit enter

tab to Password... fill password hit enter

Then click activate

I think I have tried every combination with ID and Password Fileds active then activate...

Maya does some strange things if it has trouble with a simple activate tab.. I feel for you JimStar if this is the kind of thing that you have to be aware of.

What am I missing?

I need to see the content of SE after you entered the ID and password and pressed the button.

I have bleeped out the actual ID and password
If you need a PM let me know

I am running V2.10 stand alone and the maya plaugin v2.10 release as far as I can tell

I can try doing an upgrade to v2.11.1 -5.4 and Standalone 2.11.1 if you think that may help??

Thanks

You need to enter the plugin license into the plugin (not your standalone license), then if the standalone is not activated on your machine it will pop-up another box asking for you standalone key.
For Maya your plugin license should start with 35 eg: 35123456

Oh my gosh I am a total DICK!!!!!

A thousand apologies for wasting Jim Stars Time (and Yours) :> ((((

But thanks : > )))
