I do not have a prescription license. I have a purchased lightwave plugin. What or when will there be an available download for lightwave 2020? I do not plan on getting a prescription. I am fine with one card.

The latest builds of the Octane 2019.1 and 2020.1 plugins already have a proper plugin build LightWave 2020.0. Check the Releases subforum.

Well I am not sure what to use? I do not have a prescription so I tried downloading studio for lightwave and it loaded but says I do not have a prescription to activate.

So could you please be more specific on what I should be downloading and installing?

Sorry, I'm not sure to understand you. Do you say that you don't have any license? In this case, you need to download the Demo license plugin builds.

Thanks,

No I own the lightwave plugin and the stand alone before they went subscription. I just updated to my lightwave 2020 and wanted to switch my license from 2019 to 2020. Am I going to be able to use my purchased octane with 2020 or not? or my 2019 with lightwave 2020?

If it is not going to work I made a mistake updating to lightwave 2020. I sure would like to understand what I am going to be able to run with my lightwave?

I just put in a request for a refund for my 202o update of light wave. If I can not run my purchased License with it I am not going to pay 400$ for the update and also a subscription for octane. It should have been clear My purchased license was not going to work with future versions. It should have been stated!

Sorry, what Octane version do you have? The last one before subscription was 4.05, I think.

This 4.05 Octane version doesn't have a proper plugin build for LightWave 2020.0, but I know that other users are working with the LW2019 plugin build in LW2020 without problems so far, so you could try it before requesting for a refund for the LW2020 update.

I got it to run with 2020. Don't ask me how?
