Should a Cinema4D serial be posted or released to aminet

[Vincent]

I can't remember getting the serial number in a later copy of AF.  I remember them mentioning C4D and CU a month or two after CU went byebye, but I can't remember seeing that number.

Guess I'll have to go raking through all my packed boxes to find it.  If you hear a thump don't worry, it's just the boxes collapsing on me ;-)

I never got round to checking out my AF magazines today, and I won't bother now that JaXanim has mentioned the details are on AFCD35.

I haven't packed my CD's yet, so they're a *lot* easier to get to :-D

Cheers for that Jax :-)

After searching through a few AFCDs I've discovered that it's not on 35, it's on 34.  If you go into file://localhost/F:/-Websites-/-Amiga_Format-/frames.html you'll see the HiSoft homepage.  This contains a little bit of (un)helpful text:

CU CU'S THE CU C4D CD

Readers of the last ever CU Amiga magazine (Oct 98) will already know of the special CINEMA 4D deal we are offering them. They will also be aware that they need serial numbers, which were not supplied in the magazine.

To learn how to get serial numbers, and also how to correct the broken installation script (sigh), please click on the link below which will take you to the relevant page on the CU Amiga website.

The link is:

This doesn't exist anymore.  So, it looks like we're stuck. :-(

Unless someone wants to dig out their Christmas 1998 AF issue ;-)

I can't see the serial number on that at all.  There's the replacement installer, but that's all I can see.

I was trawling through afb's bulletin board but there's nothing on there.  I was surprised to see it was still going, although the only names that I recognised from the recent posters are Neil Bothwick, jaxanim and Quixote.

I can assure you the answer to everyone's problem was published on AFCD35.

I still can't see the serial number there, in -ReaderStuff-\Jack_Thewlis I can see the Installer fix, but no serial number.  Got the number from the CU site though :-)

@JaxAnim

Aha, that explains why I couldn't find it then ;-)

I didn't think about it actually being in the installer itself.

Cheers :-D
