Since my desktop is in the shop, I decided to try to do some work in Vue 8 Complete on my laptop. I had installed Vue 8 Complete last year, updated and activated the software. I copied the content library over form my desktop of all the extra atmosphere, models, and scenes that I'd purchased (not node locked). Last night when I tried to open scene files of scenes I'd paid for Vue gave me an error that it was unable to open the file. I searched for the other content I'd purchased in my libraries (trees, buildings, atmospheres) but nothing is showing up in the appropriate panels. Any idea about what could be causing this behavior?
I was under the impression I was able to have Vue on a laptop and desktop computer as long as I was not using it on two computers at the same time. Is this still true? Or can I only use it on one machine now. I remember in the past getting a cryptic message about Vue being activated on another machine.
I really don't want to upgrade to Vue 9 right now as my computer cost me much more money than anticipated. If I did, however, is it possible to run 8 on my laptop and 9 on the desktop without conflicts? IF I buy Vue 9 will I have to reinstall all my purchaed content for it to work properly, or could the files just be copied over from my old library.
