- Is it possible to use one license on more then one computers?
- Can I get free updates in future?
- What happened with the license key if i format my hard-drive?
- If I change computer, can I get a new license?
- Is it possible to open the selected max-file but not merge? If I use ‘open in default aplication’ 3dsmax starts a new instance, thats not what I need!
- It was wonderful if it possible in future update to include an “export list of missing maps” in the asset files?
- How I can save the Material to the Material Library?
- Is it possible to replace materials with Project Manager?
- What’s the difference between the demo and the full version of PROJECT MANAGER?
- I have some weird issues with the “Thumbnails Render Tool”. When I try to render with your Vray preset it doesn`t work, it renders only with scanline or renders all in black, when I tell him to use scene renderer. What does the button “Link” in the thumbnail render settings mean? GI is ignored also…
