oh oh I had an epiphany today while in the surf....

daz isn't really charging us for the upgrade, they are charging us for the content that is bundled in with it, and the update is free

my reasoning: it's become apparent that the new serial numbers were screwed up and had a limiting date because they were carried over from the beta  - the way around this was posted on the daz forum - change the date on your computer to the date before the beta expired

i'm assuming that daz has done the same thing with the previous beta serials - that they can be tricked if you change the date on your computer and therefore still be usable

if this is the case it means that some unscruplous people who have an old serial can use the beta for free still. so Daz has shot herself in the foot.

and also poses a situation where daz can put an expiry date into any registration serial, so that your carrara can be unusable sometime in the future..

 

David, thanks for your thoughts on getting poser and carrara to talkkas far as obj sizes!
