Does anyone know if I build an installation/web service for generative procedural artworks, can I use the Octane Engine to render some images via the standalone command-line tool if the machine has the regular Octane Standalone license?

You can, we're doing it to create something special.

Important note on the above - to do this, you need to get permission from us first in writing (as Phantom did) before we determine whether we can white list your account for using Octane this way. It's done on a case by case basis. We plan to automate this in the future once UBL (usage based licensing through RNDR) is thoroughly tested.

Does it mean even if the commandline operation is just using the same scene file but only swapping the obj and materials, it still requires the permission to do so? At this point we are only at the stage that we are just brainstorming and pitching our client some protential services. If we need to ask for the permission, who can we contact to?
