Team Render with Standard Render with Octane c4d Installed??

Hi, apologies if this has come up before.

I'm working on a scene that is mainly using Octane. I'd like to render some quick mattes via Team Render with Standard Render, BUT all of my Team Render nodes keep throwing errors for "Missing Plugins / Octane for c4d"

I've even made a new scene and deleted any reference to Octane Object tags / materials / lights / sky nodes and it's still throwing errors.

If I drop the Octane for C4D plugin folder into my team render / Plugin folders, they license authorization window pops up and throws errors.

This is the Team Render Error:
2017/09/14 12:42:11 (Error) Render-Job failed: Several plugins used in this project are missing.|Saving may cause loss of plugin data!|Plugin 'Octane Renderer' (ID 1029525)

Is there a way around this OTHER than uninstalling Octane 4 C4d on my main rig every time I want to switch to Standard Render in a scene to render some quick mattes etc?

I have 4 machines. My main rig + 3 render slaves. I have Octane Standalones for all 4 and 1 Octane for C4D license...

Thanks for any help dudes!

You can put a demo version of octane to other pcs.

Thanks Aoktar!

So is there a separate download for the plugin demo? Sorry I poked around the forum, and couldn't find a plugin demo download, just standalone.

Thanks!

I do this a lot because I like to render my mattes out of C4D with the standard render to get cleaner mattes but what I usually do is take all the materials out since you dont need them anyways and then copy and paste the entire project into a new project and then when you use team render it wont give you there error.
