Rendering in vm caused license lock | log off from terminal

Hello,

I been rendering in a vm with gpu passthrough. Recently i shutdown the vm to allocate more memory and cpus cores to the machine. After booting the vm back up, my license was locked. I had to put back the original resource allocations and log out of the account, then increase the resource allocation and log back in from the booted vm. This can get tedious and can be a hassle if i don't remember the original resource allocations. Is this normal behaviour?

As a solution, I'd like to log out whenever i'm shutting down the vm. I though i could use the task schedular for this. Is there a command to log in and out of Octane from the terminal? I'm running a C4D Team Render client on the vm, so i can't use octane's render daemon for account log in/out.

Otoy, can we please improve this? Running renders in vm's with variable resources has real world use, but these licensing limits seriously handicap that.

I can't find anything on what exactly triggers the cooldown.
