How to troubleshoot “Octane license is not activated” issue

Octane is online license activation, meaning that use of the software is available only while online, connected via the internet to the OctaneRender licensing server. It’s for preventing piracy.

However, sometime you might encounter the issue where “Octane license is not activated”. Let’s find out how to troubleshoot it with iRender.

It’s simple as that. The issue might be caused by a unstable internet connection. You should check if it’s connected, or you can change to a cable internet instead of wifi for a stable connection.

You can restart your software if you see the issue coming. After restarting, Octane will act like normal again.

To troubleshoot this, OTOY has a solution. Actually, it’s not to solve the issue immediately, but more like a backup for a fixed workstation, which don’t rely on internet activation. And it’s Offline USB Dongle.

It allows you to use the license offline, when your online license doesn’t work. However, it contains some limitations:

• • • • No access to ORC from within OctaneRender.
      • No access to the LiveDB from within OctaneRender.
      • Dongles need to be updated using the Dongle Installer Utility every 4 months.
      • Once a compatible Enterprise subscription/license has been installed to the dongle, it cannot be converted back into a normal subscription/license.
      • Only support Octane Enterprise, no support for Octane Studio.
