Upgrading/Subscribing to 2020 whilst keeping Octane 4?
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2019 12:04 pm
Hi
First off, forgive my confusion.
I have an Octane 4 perpetual licence, which i keep upgraded and I'm super happy with.
I'm a hobbyist, but really like tinkering with this great renderer, but the new additions to the 2020 release are super enticing.
I'm slightly confused at the structure of buying/subscribing the new version.
I wanted to ask, if I decided to subscribe to the new version, does that negate the perpetual Octane 4 licence I have?
Ideally I would like to keep the Octane 4 licence I have, but also have to option to use the latest version on a subscription basis.
Can I have the two versions concurrently?
Worst scenario would be that; by subscribing to the 2020.x version, I would make my Octane 4 obsolete.
Does anyone currently have this same setup to confirm that the two can co-exist?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
