Issue 3. OctaneRender^® Won't Open Due To License Issues

Problem:

OctaneRender^® is not licensed.

Solution:

You entered your customer details incorrectly into the licensing system. If you suspect a problem, contact us at [email protected].

Problem:

OctaneRender^® is not activated.

Solution:

Either your license has not been processed, or the current OTOY^® account is logged out, or your operating system has an update, which causes issues with previous builds of OctaneRender^®. Check for the status of the actual license key through the OTOY^® website online customer area at https://render.otoy.com/account/. If you suspect a problem, contact us at [email protected].

Problem:

Persistent error: “Your license was deactivated or expired and there is not another one available...”

Solution:

There may be one of these issues involved:

Using an older build of OctaneRender^® that did not release its license correctly. Try downloading and installing the latest build of OctaneRender^®.

Installing OctaneRender Studio^TM instead of OctaneRender^®, or vice-versa. We recommend uninstalling the OctaneRender Studio^TM versions and installing the latest OctaneRender^® releases, or vice-versa.

Problem:

OctaneRender^® cannot connect to the OctaneRender Live^TM servers, or error message “SSO server cannot be found” appears.

Solution:

This could be due to either of these issues:

• This error is caused when OctaneRender^® cannot connect to our account servers (account.otoy.com), please disable the firewall temporarily. Also, if you are in a corporate proxy environment, please verify that you have configured your proxy settings correctly. Refer to the topic on HTTP ProxyAn object saved as a separate file with the purpose of being reused in larger scenes. This is used to minimize any addition to the total polygon count in the scene, especially if the scene requires the same object to appear several times. If used in conjunction with instancing, Proxies help keep very large scenes from reaching polygon limits and also keeps the relative file size of the main project file manageable. Support in this manual, and for the option for a static IP, contact [email protected].
