Licenses are released (deactivated) automatically when you close a plugin. If that's not happening you may have chosen to use "Offline licensing" at the time you signed out.
When in offline mode all plugins should provide a button to deactivate the license in use by that specific plugin. As a way of example this is how it looks like in 3Ds Max:

- 3Ds Max Deactivation
Please refer to the
3.0 new features post if you need more information.

So I assume you have some understanding of how the licensing system works and that you are using Win 7 according to your signature.
Could you please share with me via PM the files located at the following locations?
Code: Select all
%APPDATA%/OctaneRender/otoy_credentials

I had standalone 2.x at the one of 2 pcs. I uninstalled everything and installed 3.x. I do believe that was it.

I also had problems with the Rhino activation (Octane 3).
So installing the old 2.5 plugin, activation and reinstalling V 3.0 seems to be the only workaround so far.
