A few versions of Vue ago I purchased Vue with the option of CityEngine2010.

This version only renders its cityscapes via Vue.

Unfortunatly my Serial Numberr is no longer working.

Cornacopia support points me to the cityengine vender who promptly points me back to Cornacopia.

Both agree it needs support but neither of the only two support parties involved will take responsibility.

One thing is for sure, they both got my money!

Has anyone been able to solve this nonsense?

I guess everybody, who bought and "owned" material from Cornucopia, lost their stuff ... that's another reason (besides the new subscription model) why my last Vue version is and will be Infinite 2016 ! It can do everything and more for my hobby - only need it and use it, when i'm in the mood or have the time, so subscription would be a waste of money to invest (i've had longer periods of time over the years, where personal reasons kept me from working with Vue - so why should i pay, when i don't use it ???).

Well, if you really need a city generator, then you could take a look into "SceneCity" for Blender (bundled with SceneTerrain) - you can find it here: https://www.cgchan.com/ . Yes, it costs money - but after paying it's all yours. And Blender is a free great professional 3D program. Or here are some other ones listed: https://alternativeto.net/software/suicidator-city-generator/ .

Autodesk went stupid with their price for Maya, so I dropped it for Blender, Wings3D & Daz Studio.

Adobe went mental with their subscription price so I dropped it for Davinci Resolve free (one of many free options).

Now Vue & CityBuilder wont even let me activate the software I purchased, hmmm

You know its not necassarily the subscription or the price its that there is not much ongoing value that ticks me off.

It also means learning all over again but I will find an alternative that supplies value.
