You need to install the beta to a different folder than your regular Carrara build.

That’s the weird thing I did, but it still took over.

  Oh dear, the first link to download Carrara 8.5 beta takes you to the Daz Studio 4.5 beta instead.  The second link takes you to http://www.daz3d.com/shop/carrara-8-5-beta/ which returns a page not found.  Anyone have the correct link to use to download the new beta?

I know - its a bummer for those that can’t get it .

The supplied link doesn’t work.  Instead it takes you to the latest Studio beta.  What should the correct link be?

Thanks,

read my lips - there is NO link

There should be no link, the files are listed in your purchase of Carrara 8 or Carrara 8 Pro. If you have not purchased one of those items, you cannot access the beta files.

Thanks for the pointer.  When I go reset Carrara 8 pro in my orders and then attempt to re-download, I get the following message page:

“Sorry, there was an error getting requested content. Please contact store owner.”

Any thoughts?

Think it is time for me to dump DAZ.  Beta isn’t working with their serial number and now my pro update has stopped working too.  If they keep screwing up simple stuff like this, there is no hope that the product will be worth a damn in the long run.  You finally reach a limit….........

SHOOT.  REINSTALLED BETA YET AGAIN, SAME SERIAL NUMBER, NOW IT WORKS…........

Well, thought it worked!!  Now Carrara locks up whenever I try to save a texture in 3d paint…

I see that you, or someone, has removed the erroneous download link in the first post of this thread. You have, however, missed a second link near the bottom of the post which reads, “How do I get this updated Beta Build of Carrara 8.5?”, followed by another dead Carrara 8.5.0.172 Beta link.
You might want to remove that also, to avoid further confusion.

Right ,there is a beta in my downloads,it was under “Carrara 8 Upgrade”,no mention of the word “beta” anyware. It is beta ” .132”  which I assume was from a while ago?........................Yes, I have “reset”, many times…...I Wonder if the new SN number will work with an old beta?    Do you know what ,I really cant be bothered to find out….
Wake me up,when 8.5 is finished.
