im finaly going for it, switching to Mac, my question is, is eovia going to make me repurchase Hexagon (not a real big deal b/c i getting the upgrade0 and Carrara? I bought the products through electronic d/l.

I doubt it. If you registered and saved your info you sb able to get the mac version. Ask eovia.

W/ ESD you got both mac and windows version to download I thought. I didn't think they allowed later downloads w/o insurance.

I just e-mailed Eovia about jumping over to Mac on Carrara myself, and they said it was no problem as long as I had my receipt; they'll happily send me a new download key. Yay for Eovia. Now, I'm still on the fence about making the switch.... - Dex

Yeah, Eovia is pretty cool about that kinda stuff. I usually download both versions tho, because I paid for them. However, the likelihood that I would use a mac is doubtful.Never saw any real difference between the 2 and just get more value out of my pc's(just getting proper specs from apple can be a pain).

well, my carrara 5 was upgrade and 4 pro i deleted the recept a long time ago (stupid i know), so will the upgrade verson install without carrara 4 pro?

I think it will, but not sure. Without a record you risk an invalid license tho.You always need proof you qualify for an upgrade.If you registered w/ eovia that should help. Should be able to get a cc receipt or for a possible fee request a research. It looks like element 5 keeps records of that so I would make sure you check your account with them.I don't know how far it will go back, but it could be quite far. They do know who they issued to. If c4pro was acquired this way it should be trackable.
