Buy at e-on - or go minimum to e-ons site and check the official reseller list.
One day your ship comes in - but you're at the airport.

They are a VAR. Some people don't like dealing with VARs. Their company looks more like an OEM run business though. Anyway, you have to burn your own disk once you download the Vue installer. The VAR part is they give you a DVD case. Whoopie.
Ask them who will support your problems (them or E-on ) first before buying.

3D World has an excellent QuadSpinner video on making "HyperTerrains". It's in issue 131.

Hi, I have been purchasing software & hardware from Safe Harbor for the last 20+ years without a single problem. I have purchased all of my Lightwave & Vue Infinite upgrades from Safe Harbor and you receive the exact same level of support from the software manufacturer buying from Safe Harbor as you would if you purchased it from the manufacturer itself.
It's a good way to save a little money on all of these Vue upgrades.
Hope this helps!

Good to know. E-on is NOT doing us any favors in this economy.

Safe Harbor Computers has supplied software to animators, digital artists, and editors for over 22 years, and has been an authorized reseller of e-on software for many years. As mentioned in the thread, you will get the same level of customer support from e-on when purchasing software from Safe Harbor as you would buying direct, with the advantage of competitive pricing.
Our apologies for any confusion caused by the "empty case" text that inadvertently carried over to our website from the notes in our database. This was in reference to a part used in creating the product for delivery.
If you ever have any questions about e-on software or any of the other products we offer, don't hesitate to call or email, we're always happy to assist you.
Thank you

I have bought DVDs of HDRIs from safe harbor and am very happy with them.
I get emails from them about new 3d content and backgrounds. their prices aren't too bad and they have some very interesting stuff coming out lately that I am thinking of buying.
Love esther
I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!

Glad I found this it will save me a little bit when the time comes. I took a break from art to get my mind straight and found out to my dismay that I cannot upgrade from 5 because I did not buy the upgrade to 6 :-( Thanks for the link!
