Re: Octane Student License + C4d Plugin License?

hi Funk_, Sorry to hear about that. Octane will become available on the cloud under a subscription license scheme soon making it very affordable to everyone. We hope you will consider the cloud-based Octane in the future.
We'd also like to clarify the Standalone Edition requirement. Actually, each integrated plugin is only available as an add-on/extension to the Standalone Edition. The SE is the main product, and it can be used for texturing and rendering scenes (.obj files and .abc files) exported from most 3D applications. If users want to skip the exporting from 3D app and importing into SE for rendering part, then that is where the plugin comes in handy. This means that although the plugin is a separate product and runs within another application, it will still require the presence of the standalone edition (or its license key) to be present in the same machine. This is the reason why there are combo licenses available. The combos offer a discounted price, otherwise the SE and the plugin can also be bought separately but the versions have to match.
