hey all, I have a question: i bought 3DC on steam, can I transfer my license to standalone version of software? I notice that there's version 4.9.65 available on the website, while steam offers me version 60.

if anyone's interested- it's really easy and doesn't require supports help to switch licenses from Steam to standalone version of 3DCoat, Oleg in his reply to my email told me that all that's needed is product key from your steam library and installer from website. Use key from Steam on trial version and you're all set

I can confirm that it works, I just needed to unninstall license from steam version of 3DCoat once I had standalone installed
