this morning i cant use octane. Opening c4d i see this
when i log-in to the website admin i only see my V2 licence. This is with the same log-in and PW normally used to authenticate my V3 licence when i boot c4d. whats up ?

This will happen if there's another instance of Octane currently signing in or out from your machine.

If for some reason C4D has crashed during that process this could be stopping you from signing in. Please have a look in your task manager if there's any C4D process running and make sure to stop them all. If that still doesn't fix your problem you may need to restart and try again.

Hi Mojave

sorry for my late reply but i your suggestion did not fix my problem and I jumped onto redshift instead. I have a x-particles render to execute this week, which is why I am hoping to restart this topic. I cant seem to fix this - i have tried the following

the last machine i used octane ( in my studio ) i signed out of the licence
my home machine i attempted to sign in, but i only get this error when i launch c4d,
checking task manager , restarting ect does not fix the problem
nothing in task manager indicates a c4d process

windows 10
octane 3.04.3
c4d R17

cheers

Hi again,

I'll do a bit of investigation to figure out how that can happen if no other instance of C4D is running and will get back to you ASAP.

I am new to Octane, so I apologize if I am missing something obvious, but I am getting the same message(after my computer blue-screened). After restarting the computer three times now, I am still getting the error. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi tom,
probably your license gets blocked because of the crash.
In this particular case, you can go to your OctaneLive page.
https://render.otoy.com/account/octanelive.php
and press the red Unlock button to manually deactivate the licenses.
Let us know if you solve your issue.

Ive tried all the recommendations.

On OctaneLive page, i Unlocked both the standalone and the maxon c4d, only the c4d unlocked and status says deactivated and is greyed out.

Still getting error message. the only other computer I would be logged into has been completely shut off.

What do I need to do?

Hi illusorymotion,
I have sent you a PM.

hello,
is it possible to make the solution public, please?
I'm having the same problem.
Thank you.

Hi jooncult,
