It sounds fair, that daz will upgrade all users that bought the ds4 pro with real money and didn’t go for a refunds.
give a free update to the final dazstudio 5 ProPro user
and give the normal pro 4.5 version (standard version) for free to all who download the free version and some option to those people to update at special price.

that sounds fair for all people that lost money!

Couple issues with your line of reasoning.

I don’t see them making up new features for a PROPRO version. And if they took away features from the PRO version so the PROPRO was somehow better why would free users upgrade to a more restricted version?

I notice there’s a (currently not readable) announcement sitting at the top of the forum:

“Get DAZ Studio 4.5! See why you should switch to it today!”

Is that new? And if so I’d say ‘soon’ just got upgraded to ‘incoming!’

lol yeah I noticed that link wasn’t working either.

Homepage has been updated to show it off as well.

DAZ Studio 4.5 is out, just installed it

But if you lost money it will be of your own doing as daz told all that wanted it sorted out to contact them and thay would have arranged something on a per person basis, guess if your wounds still open you should have taken up the offer.

ok I did’nt pay as much as you did for Daz Studio 4 pro but I paid for Hexagon and Bryce 7 Pro But if the money helps development I dont mind.

It is the release edition, not the candidate edition.

Doh!! I meant, is it the General Release? The one that is done, finished, fixed etc. and can be used out-of-the-box with no fuss… I’m hoping to migrate to DS4P in the near future from DS3A.

Yup, that’s what I meant.  it’s the general release.

Nice nice nice!!!! Whoohooo!!!!

I’m gonna download.

I think this thread is answered now. LIVE! Five by Five!

One last question. Will we need a new serial # for this or will the Studio 4 Pro one we already have still work? Reason I ask, is I reset my Downloads for Studio 4 and the new 4.5 version is there, but I checked my Available Serial #‘s and still only have the old one for Studio 4 Pro showing on my account.

I know that was for the Beta/Release Candidates, but what about the final 4.5 release that is now available? I’ve been using RC3 and it worked fine with my 4.0 pro #. I just don’t want to update to the final release to only find it won’t start without a new serial #. So i would like an administrator-someone “in the know” to respond to my original question.
