Carrara 5 Beta - Polyloop

ninjamonk · 23rd November 2005, 02:38

I know 5 is only a couple of weeks away but why can some users get the beta version and people like me who have just bought 4 and qualify for 5 can't get it.

I only really bought 4 to get 5. I know you could use the argument that giving out the beta could give people a bad idea of the final product if it is buggy. However if a customer wants to look at it and is aware and fully understands that whats the problem.

Cheers

You bought Carrara5 early and got Carr4 for free. We had Carr 4, bought Carr5 early and got the Beta free to play with.

It's been discussed many-a-times already. Simply put, the beta is solely available to those who are existing customers that pre-ordered the C5 version. People that brought the full version C4 between Nov. and Dec. are able to get the same version of C5 (standard or pro) for no additional charge once it is ready for shipping.

If you have questions, please contact Bob directly. He is a friendly fellow and will probablly answer you back very quickly (although, keep in mind that tomorrow is a holiday so it might be Friday or Monday).

I realize I'm just whinning but I think the beta should be available for a limited time to anyone that purchased and registered the last 4 versions.
For the record, I'll be ordering C5P next payday.
Happy Holidays Everyone!!!
