Silly Question

Hi Folks;

OK so I own R13 but just bought a new touchsmart ultrabook, which is awesome, but it doesn’t have an optical drive. Can I download a demo version of C4D R13 and insert my key or is there another procedure?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

Not a silly question at all. Since several computer these days have no drive “natively” anymore.
(http://www.maxon.net/products/general-information/general-information/system-requirements.html)

The question with the demo r13 is easy to answer, it is not online (anymore) at least to my knowledge.

My suggestion: get in contact with the support and check with them, if they have an option or link for for.

I guess you thought already about an USB DVD drive, but decided against it? I saw external drives for $20 already.

All the best

Thanks Dr. S

I will drop them a line. In this digital age they should have a digital download option. If not I might be able to copy my disc data to a USB Jump drive and install that way.

Cheers

Hey Steve,

That should be an option, to order DVD or a USB version, perhaps a nice suggestion. ;o) Updates are already downloads only.

If you have the chance to copy the installer for the time being, I see no problem technically. Perhaps the support will answer that. (If I would have a DVD here, I would try it for you of course)

Good luck
