What is the difference between Octane Studio and Octane Enterprise?

Hello everyone, today I will help you guys – these artists who usually use Octane to tell apart between Octane Studio and Octane Enterprise. 

Your Octane license runs on one machine at any time. Your OctaneRender software grabs its license from your Customer Account and releases it when you close your OctaneRender application. This makes it easy to use your license between your different machines (for example, using OctaneRender on your PC, and then on your laptop).

To use OctaneRender on more than one machine at a time, you need to buy additional licenses for the other machines.

Otoy released 2 types of Licenses: OctaneRender Studio and OctaneRender Enterprise.

Features:

• RT Core and NVLink support on NVIDIA RTX GPUs (2 GPU limit)
• Octane X: AMD GPUs supported on macOS 10.15.6+ 
• EmberGenFX: Full commercial license included during public beta

Product specifications:

• Requires a CUDA® 10 capable NVIDIA® graphics card on Windows/Linux or AMD Vega/Navi GPU on macOS 10.15.6+
• Use of the software is available only while online, connected via the internet to the OctaneRender licensing server
• OctaneRender Offline USB Dongle is not supported
• Network rendering is not available

How does it work? This comes with Octane Standalone and A plugin for one host application. (in our case, C4D). Make sure when you’re purchasing your subscription you select “Octane Render Studio for Cinema 4D”, so you get the version of Octane for C4D.
