Should a Cinema4D serial be posted or released to aminet

@pha_q

I believe you are right.

Certainly Maxon themselves do not give out the serial any more ( I tried).

@browny,

Didn't you buy Amiga Format then?

Cheers,

As I recall it, HiSoft were giving out the serial numbers for quite a while after the magazine was published. Can't blame them for not doing this for all eternity, besides the CU Amiga website can be found on the Wayback Machine, with a little effort you should be able to find what you need.

[browny]

Yeah ! JaXanim,
I just realised my mistake I mean CU,not AF, Oops !.
Tell you what guys did we spend some money on mags or what !.
When you look at the price on the covers its amazing how many flew off the shelves.

I really wish someone would post the #s,I bought the
Magazine and cd,and paid a premium price for it here
in Canada. I didn't have internet at the time so was cut out of getting them from hisoft or whoever and I have searched the net high and low to no avail.this issue of the serials has irked me for years and I would really like to try C4d.  Whoever holds the rights should do the decent thing and make the numbers availible to the people who paid good money for the mag and disc. I know this is an
old issue but like I said I didn't have access to the net at the time .also can someone please confirm if it was on afcd 35 because I would even be willing to hunt that down just to get C4d going. Thanx  T.

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:

http://www.cu-amiga.co.uk/cucd/index.html

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

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

Following on from http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.cu-amiga.co.uk/cucd/index.html reveals a replacement installer script (which is on www.archive.org), but unfortunately no serial number. They just say to email c4d-cu-offer@hisoft.co.uk .

So much for subtle hints... click

All you need is there.

@mdwh2

look a little closer

[Vincent]

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.

The CU List archives (another source) are also online.

[tony23]

doesn't help though.we want the serials.and they are not there. :-?

[zipper]

They were in Aminet years ago just some hours until swiped off by admin.

@Vincent,

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

Look in -ReaderStuff-

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 :-)
