Actually, I didnt see them as a free cloud service. I had all my purchases on a remote drive safe and secure. My Vue2014 developed serious issues and working w/ support didnt fix it. It came to a point where I was spending too much time trying to find a fix. In frustration I deleted my Vue and the content and let it rest for months. On a lark I ran across an old remote drive that had Vue on it and gave it a try, Corn3d was kind enough to let me redownload the content even tho the website was gone. But as before the content would not open in the reinstalled 2014. I tried the demo and same thing, no helpfull error msg just a msg that it couldnt open it. They gave up and I gave up.

But I was still checking the website to see if it would ever come back and thats when I caught that E-on's new site was up w/ a new pricing. So, am giving the new demo a try. I had also found a couple of the old trees on that remote drive so I tested. That's when I got a second msg to go to the 'help' and request etc. That is the first and only indication that my assets were not authorised for the vue I was using. I'm going to think that the reason they didnt work with my 2014 is that the authorisation process became corrupted somehow. There is a 'help' on my menu bar in Vue demo but nothing that adresses legacy unlocking, nor is there anything on my acct page at their site. I have emailed them asking but I wont hold my breathe. My requests to get the demo using my registered email did nothing. I actually had to create a new email acct.

So THATS why i'm searching for alt sources of trees, spec pines. Anything that depends on another plant I cant use because I wont have access to that plant. basically all I want Vue for at this point is to render terrains I create in World Creator and Builder, but I do need trees. I love the Asilefx site but many of the plants have dependencies and it isnt detailed which ones. Anyway, thanks for the answer
