HELP Octane License not working.

Hello, I purchased the subscription option on Friday and immediately sent a ticket to support because my license doesn't work.

It's been a few days but still haven't heard back.

Is there a phone number available or do I have to put another ticket?

I need to start rendering a project asap.

Can somebody help?

Thank you

Hi,
sorry for the delay!

You need 2022.1 Studio + versions.

Here is the link to Standalone 2022.1:
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... _1_win.exe

And the link to new Render Node version 2022.1:
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... de_win.exe

We have revamped the Downloads section, now you can find all plugins here:
https://render.otoy.com/account/downloads.php?#plugins

And you can also download and install Standalone , Render-Node, World Creator, Cascadeur, EmberGenFX, Architron, Mol 3D, Sculptron and UX3D gITF Scene Toolkit from here:
https://render.otoy.com/account/downloads.php#core

Happy GPU rendering!

Hello, I re installed everything but still doesn't work.

This is so frustrating!

Nobody replies and there's no phone support, you pretty much have no idea when the issue will be resolved.

I am working on a large scale project and I asked the other designers if they are using Octane and they all said NO, because xyz...

Now I see why they don't want to use it.

This is terrible.

At this point I am thinking if I should just bite the bullet and cancel my subscription redo everything with Redshift.

This is really incredible!

Hi Snoopy,
sorry for the hassle, but great to hear you have already solved, well done :D

Next time, another possibility is to delete the OTOY credentials.

If under Windows:
  • - go to C:User/Username/AppData/Roaming and locate the Octanerender folder.
  • - delete the otoy_credentials file in the Octanerender folder.
If under macOS:
  • - press ALT on your keyboard
  • - from the Finder menu, choose Go/Library and locate the Octanerender folder
  • - delete the otoy_credentials file in the Octanerender folder.
Then restart OctaneRender.
In this way, a new activation will be asked, and you need to enter your OTOY username and password to activate the license again.

ciao,
Beppe
