Member sazberryftw Posted December 21, 2015 Member Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I bought the educational version via steam and now I just bought the full professional version on the 3d Coat site. Where do I enter my new license key? Thanks Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is not a beta code, it says it is invalid. Edited December 21, 2015 by sazberryftw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member sazberryftw Posted December 21, 2015 Author Member Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Hey I just did the same thing although I basically just reinstalled it. If I uninstall and reinstall do I lose my settings and preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor Solution AbnRanger Posted December 21, 2015 Reputable Contributor Solution Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 If I uninstall and reinstall do I lose my settings and preferences? What I would try to do, in your case, is to move your LICENSE.DAT file outside of the MyDocs/3D Coat V4.5 directory > install the latest build > when you open 3D Coat, you should get the prompt to add your registration key. Enter your new one and see if that works. ....If not, you could temporarily re-name your current MyDocs/3D Coat 4.5 directory > install latest build > move the subfolder content from the previous, re-name directory, to the new one. Don't move the individual files, like Options.xml and such. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this information should be given to me when I upgrade my license, or the system should be easier - e.g, having an option called "Upgrade my license" within the software. Thanks again!

Contributor Michaelgdrs Posted December 22, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Here what Don says very correctly is what the links i send you describe as well. What I would try to do, in your case, is to move your LICENSE.DAT file outside of the MyDocs/3D Coat V4.5 directory > install the latest build > when you open 3D Coat, you should get the prompt to add your registration key. Enter your new one and see if that works. ....If not, you could temporarily re-name your current MyDocs/3D Coat 4.5 directory > install latest build > move the subfolder content from the previous, re-name directory, to the new one. Don't move the individual files, like Options.xml and such. Oh just read that it worked so all good. ENJOYYYYYYY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
