Can No Longer Use Blender/Octane & Octane Server ??

[nightdancer]

Hello!

I'm an occasional user, and believe I have a non-commercial subscription and was using Octane for Blender successfully a month or so ago. Now, after launching Octane Server, Blender launches successfully and works in solid shading view, but when I either try to render an image or use the render view in the Blender viewport, the Octane Server application quits on my system. I've tried this a few times and have restarted my system as well to try and isolate the problem, to no avail.

Can someone help confirm that I have the most recent versions of the server and the Blender application - perhaps there's been an update? I've seen that there are updates for enterprise customers but I have not found information about any updates for the non-commercial version. I've tried downloading the applications again from the links on my subscription page, but the same difficulties persist.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

Hello.
So I tried the octane plugin for blender free tier, but it just doesn't work.
I already ran the Octane Server, activate it, macys insite then run the Octane for the blender.
The octane addon showed up and I can select it as render engine, but it just doesn't work.
I can't even open the mypascoconnect device preferences or activation state.
It's the 2020.2.3_23.5_stable version according to the installer.
I have a blender 2.92
Any idea what might be the problem? Thanks in advance.

Please try to have a look at this discussion about Nvidia cuDNN library, it is necessary to run 2020.2.x octane versions:
