Hi mikino612,
after closing c4d and standalone, my suggestion is to firstly go in your personal OctaneLive area in this site and check your licenses:
Deactivate-v2.jpg
As you can see, there is no more a "Deactivate" button if v3 is active, while there is the button if v2 is active.
So if you see [v2] beside your license, click the button to deactivate and free the license (do the same for both plugin and standalone).
Then, download the latest c4d version v3.00 R1.1 from here:
viewtopic.php?f=85&t=53989
Completely remove the old version from the c4d plugin folder and follow the instruction in the readme.txt file inside the download plugin.
Now, when you firstly run c4d, a new Otoy authentication window will pop up, just use your customer user-id and pw to sign-in. Thbere is no more need to copy paste long sereies of id and pw for ebvery single product, now the new system automatically takes care of activation/deactivation without waiting times like in the past ;)
Let me know if you have any issue ;)
