Hi
When we are rendering and all plugin license are in use, we still want to be able to use C4D. But Octane pops up the authentication dialogue about 8 times during startup then repeatedly while trying to work. It's incredibly annoying. If plugin license not found can we please just cancel once and then have it disappear forever. It's a floating license so it's found or not found. For example with XP, if the license is in use elsewhere, cancel once when opening the scene, and that's the end of it. It doesn't ask us 20 times.

Thanks

That would be an awesome change, especially since there is no offline licensing anymore.

It's a logical request. It's a problem I've never worried about it! Because I nearly never fall to this issue.

Thanks Aoktar.
It's more of an issue with floating licenses in a studio where sometimes we have more or less artists, or use different machines. To be able to have the plugin installed on a few machines but only active on those needed would be perfect, and the other machines could still have it installed, but if all licenses are already taken, then ideally not interrupt C4D tasks with the popup all the time.
I do hope this may be able to make it in to a future release.

Again, thanks!
Cheers

I understand your pain, no problem! Don't know how to easy fix this, but I'll take a look for future!
