HI belovedalia

Welcome

Carrara 8 “Standard” is only available as a 32-Bit application.
The Pro version is available in both 32 and 64-Bit versions.

The 8.5 Beta is supplied as both 32 and 64 bit versions to allow users to evaluate all the features of the full program.

Hope it helps

oh… but the beta will eventually be discontinued right? and the beta is for the pro version?

bummer…. wish i knew that way back when i bought carrara 8 standard.  Another bad buy. Sigh. I really need to read the details better.

The beta has all the Pro feature unlocked,. so that you can test how it functions

The way carrara works is that All the features are there,. and your serial number makes it either Standard, or Pro.

When Carrara 8.5 is finally ready, and released,.  it will be a new version for both the Standard and the Pro which will replace C8.

Daz Bfurner had just posted a new serial number for the current 8.5 beta which extends it’s use. (that’s Both 32 and 64bit)

At this point,. I’ve no idea whether Daz3D will make the same distinction between 8.5 Pro and Standard, for 64 and 32bit respectively.  but It’s pretty likely to be the same as it is right now,. EG: standard is 32bit only, and Pro is 64bit (or both 32 and 64)

Right now only the Pro version is supplied as both 32 and 64 bit.
The Standard version only comes as 32 bit. and has less tools / features.

You could contact Daz3D sales, and move up to the pro version, to get 64-bit.
or just stick with the current beta, (64bit or 32bit) until the beta testing is completed, and we get the new 8.5 version in the store.

Hope that makes sense

well thing is, I don’t want to start learning the program on the pro version when I only own the standard, and then go back to standard when the beta ends…
and really disappointed to learn the standard is only 32 bit… so guess i really screwed myself over not reading the fine print.
Unfortunately no idea how much it’d cost to upgrade from standard to pro since there’s nothing in the store for it.

Once you’ve put in the serial number for Standard,. then you’ll be running the standard version.
all the pro features will be hidden at that point,.

I think it’s only if you’re running the demo, or in trial mode that you’d get the sudden disappearance of the pro features,. but I could be wrong.

the Missing upgrade options from 8 standard to pro, is one that’s resulted in several threads here, and it seems to be an issue with the new store,.

the temporary solution is to contact Daz3D sales department,. and they can sort it out for you.

Edited to add :

Daz have a 30 day return policy, which is the same amount of time that the pro features would normally last in the Demo / Trial,.
so if you buy within that time, then realise you need those Pro features, ...you can “Normally” upgrade for the difference.

I urgently need the new serial for 8.5/64 - where can I find it (the old one has already expired ... again)? BTW: This serial war sucks!

OK, got it. Nevertheless it still sucks ...

OK, got it. Nevertheless it still sucks ...

What sucks is not having an update in 6-7 months while the serial keeps running out.

I’m waiting for the magic to begin and checking every day to see if there is any progress.

HI Rickenbacker

the serial in always posted and Updated in the first page of the main beta release thread,..

CDZCPRO-085-0031102-PAS-001-EBTQTHV  

THis number does not work for me? Whats up?

Maybe it is something as simple as typing it in rather than cut and paste? I had this happen to me a while back . Or maybe typing letter o’s instead of zeros.
This number works for me.

Definitely the number supplied by Daz - see sticky post ” bete 172 now avaialable ”

To register the Carrara 8.5 Beta you will need to use the serial code listed here: CDZCPRO-085-0031102-PAS-001-EBTQTHV (Expires 12 January 2013)

My experience is that you cannot copy and paste the serial but be careful to type in exactly as above.

try again ?

What has always worked for me is to copy from the forum announcement, paste into a .txt file (notepad), copy from there and Ctrl+ v into the licence block:)

Right. Copy/Paste DOES work… you just have to use “Ctrl+v” in the Carrara popup in order to paste.
Select the entire old code, and Ctrl v (paste) in the new.
Hope that helps
