Licenses for OctaneRender Studio® Standalone Edition and OctaneRender Studio® plugin editions are released under a subscription scheme. OctaneRender Studio® licenses may only be used for the OctaneRender Studio® applications and they will not be valid for the non-subscription applications. Except for the differences indicated above, Studio editions have all the features of the non-subscription OctaneRender® Standalone Edition and corresponding Plugin Editions. In fact, its interface is identical to OctaneRender®.

Similar to OctaneRender®, OctaneRender Studio® also has the following plugin editions:

Each OctaneRender Studio® plugin is a separate product and you would need a separate subscription for each one. Each subscription already comes with the OctaneRender Studio® Standalone license required in conjunction with the OctaneRender Studio® plugin license.

You can only have one PC authenticated to either an OctaneRender Studio® or OctaneRender® license, so when you authenticate OctaneRender Studio®, OctaneRender® gets deauthenticated (and vice versa). OctaneRender® will only run with an authenticated OctaneRender® commercial license, and OctaneRender Studio® will only run with an authenticated OctaneRender Studio® license.

 

What you need in order to run OctaneRender® Studio

Operating systems and the corresponding 3D modelling application host requirement may vary for each OctaneRender Studio® plugin. The software requirements are noted on the subscriptions page for each OctaneRender Studio® plugin.

All OctaneRender Studio® versions require the same hardware specifications as that of OctaneRender® Standalone Edition listed in the FAQs. (http://home.otoy.com/render/octane-render/faqs/)

Also note that all OctaneRender Studio® editions will require an internet connection each time it starts.
