"Onshape" button in Maxwell Render?

So I've downloaded Maxwell Render and tried following the steps in the Feb 3 blog post "Introducing Onshape for Maxwell Render." But the problem is that I see no "Onshape" button in the studio anywhere. I can't find anything that would let me use Maxwell with Onshape at all.

 What am I missing? My window is labeled "Maxwell Render - x64" and does not look like the screens shown in the blog post. I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

You should have also that file "maxwell_onshape_connection_win64.exe", run it and On button will appear.

No quite, Studio is where you are setting all scens, then when you'll hit "render" Studio will launch Render, you can also open ready scens directly in Render. At least that how I understand that.

That did it, thanks. It also looks like Maxwell Render and Maxwell Studio are two different animals. I guess it helps when I run the right software.

Right, but for some reason, I have separate icons to launch each one. Naturally, Windows chose to place the icon for "Render" on my start menu first, so I used that, rather than looking for the actual program folder and finding the appropriate icon. (I'm not the most tech-savvy person on the planet)
