Advanced Member MatCreator Posted June 27, 2019 Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello all =) I had 3d Coat 3 on my old system which crashed, burned and died =( But was very happy that the team sent my old serial to me to use 3d Coat on my new system. I downloaded the trial/version 4/latest version (4.8.37) and have been playing with this for a little. My question is, every time I open it it requests my serial, or rather gives the option to register, buy or use the trial. Clicking register brings me to a page that explains I had version 3 with an option to upgrade to 4, buy brings me to a page to buy, and trial allows me to use the program. So what happens after the 30 day trial period? Does it automatically revert to version 3 or strips the program of version 4 features? I do plan to upgrade, but was curious what happens or if it is possible to bypass/skip the prompt altogether to just use "my purchased" version. Any help, ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hello After the 30 day trial period the program still remains as version 4. Use this link to install any older version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted June 27, 2019 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 In order to continue to use Version 4 after the trial period ends you will need to buy the upgrade. It will not replace your version 3 and you can continue to use it as you wish. Version 4 will have it's own serial key. I have serial keys for version 3 and two for version 4, one for Windows and another for Linux. I have not used version 3 in years and Version 4 is more modern supporting PBR texturing and with countless other improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member MatCreator Posted June 27, 2019 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Thanks for replying. I installed version 3.7.18F (I believe I had this version before my older system died) but it crashes with the simplest use. If it doesnt crash, when I try applying a brush on the voxel polygons (or pixels) seem to disappear, and then it crashes. It tells me I need to increase virtual memory, which I did, but that didnt help at all anyway, so I revert back to default settings. Im using Windows 10, 16GB or ram, NVidia 1660 Ti video card, i7 9700. Version 4 works fine without any hint of an issue, so I dont know what to do. Maybe I dont have my virtual memory set properly?!? Any help, ideas suggestions or advice are welcome. I know I will upgrade, how soon is the question. I just want to work out any kinks asap.
