Quote - BTW...One reason I ask is because...as I recall...when I got the "Ozone" plug-in for Lightwave...All that E-on Software needed from me was my Lightwave hard-lock key number.Then they sent me my "permanent" serial number for Ozone (that I assume was also specifically generated to be "tied" to my dongle number...and in turn...my copy of Lightwave).

BUT!!!
With my copy of "Ozone" for Cinema 4D...E-on asked for my C4D Core application serial number before sending me my permanent serial number for Ozone

Is the plugin the same for Lightwave and Cinema4d or are different plugins?
I have the impression that they are only verifying if you are a valid user before giving you the permanent serial number, but I think that any "permanent serial number" will work too!

Stupidity also evolves!
