For the exported Alembic, users need to select "From file" option to make it work. This is probably an engine bug and I believe it will be fixed in the coming versions.

NEW FIX: Perspective Correction option not working
When the "Persp. Correction" is enabled, a "Keep up-vector vertical" option will be shown.
Enable it to make sure the "Persp. Correction" work as expect. Besides, "Keep up-vector vertical" is only valid when "Persp. Correction" is enabled.
Please note this "vertical change" may cause differences between rendered image and Blender viewport.

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=84310
The installation consists from two parts:
1. OctaneRender™ Server
2. Blender - OctaneRender™ edition
After starting OctaneServer it will take some time before the LiveDB tree and LiveDB material previews will be available from Blender - as OctaneServer caches the LiveDB data from remote server right after starting. But only the materials groups tree will be re-cached every time after server start, LiveDB material preview images will be cached only once - so only the very first OctaneServer start will need some more time before LiveDB tree will be available in Blender.
After the server is run - you can start rendering (or open a rendered view) from inside Blender.
