Octane 2019 vs Octane 4, what version?

[imago10]

Sorry if I duplicate topics but I can't find answer. I have enterprise Octane v4 version. And what's main difference between V4 and 2019 and can I use 2019 version when I bought v4?

Regards,
Lukas

As of today we are at Octane 2020, which is now 4 versions ahead of V4.

Yup, also probably asked it before but don't remember what the exact differences and advantages are. I just want the best current version without reading all the techy stuff
Until now I have been using Octane 4, wondering if I should make the switch to 2020?

Thanks but I still don't understand. I have bought v4 so I need to buy v 2020? Because I download it and install (standalone/C4D) and I got message that it's not activated. Can I upgrate v4 to 2020 somehow?

Yes, you need to buy an upgrade. If you've got a perpetual V4, Look here:

Obviously there are the 2020 changes on top of all of this now too!
