Hi Michael,
I think I'm missing something.
I purchased MoI on Oct 26, 2018 and it let's me download V4, but when I try to launch MoI it requires V4 license key and don't accept V3 one.
:(

Hi Mr. Yuri, yes you need a V4 license key to run the final v4 release, not a V3 key.

The upgrade page will give you a new V4 license key it should be shown immediately above the download links:



Is it not showing up there for you?

You can go back to https://moi3d.com/4.0/upgrade.php and put in your V3 license key again and it will show you your new V4 license key and download links there again.

Copy the license key which is the text beginning with VER4 and save it off in a text file somewhere so you can reference it later if needed.

Also you can go to https://moi3d.com/reinstall.htm and request your license keys to be sent to you through e-mail, that should send you both your V3 license as well as the new V4 license key which was generated for you.

I did not compare those keys so I thought it's just showing my current one.
Thanks for quick help.
I'm up and running.
Have a wonderful christmas and happy new year :)

Thanks Mr. Yuri, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Ok, so far so good, continuing the v4 rollout.

Order pages for v4 full version and upgrade versions are now active at http://moi3d.com/purchase.htm .

If you've ordered v3 after Aug 1, 2018 you can get a free v4 upgrade at http://moi3d.com/4.0/upgrade.php .

Thank you Michael.

One upgrade purchased and installed.

Lately Windows 10 has been warning about downloading some other programs, which occurred with the upgrade.
Selecting "keep" permits the download, which is of course harmless with MoI4.

Then when some other programs are installed, including the upgrade, Windows 10 defender again warns, but still permits installation.

ps, SanDisk has a new 1TB SSD, about the size of a thick credit card. (Costco).

Thanks Brian!

Thanks Michael for all the hard work - excited to get started with version 4.

Part of max's custom ui fails in the v4 release. It is the lighting presets link. Worked in the last beta just fine

Trying to figure out what's different.

You did say there is virtually no difference in the dec beta and this release?

I get plugin not found "else code"

Hi Burr, Max's lighting presets depends on an entry in the moi.ini file being populated with the information from Dino's plug-in here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5222.43

If it worked in the last beta then probably the thing to check is if you had the last beta set up with its own moi.ini file separate from the one that the v4 release is currently using.

Either run that plug-in in the v4 release so that section of the moi.ini file gets populated, or copy the moi.ini file being used with the last beta to the one being used by the v4 release. Or you could copy over just the one entry that it's looking for which is LightingOptions=<...>

Does that get it working?

Hi Michael,
Using the old ini file directly has it work...

I've been using a diff program, so I can be sure i have any ini updates and settings kept new, and not overwrite them and lose them for later...

So I diff the 2 ini files (The one from the v4 install that i diffed and added the old stuff into and the old ini file itself, and cant find anything different that i would THINK affects this menu...

I'm baffled.

I could just forget about it, but my ini file is pretty jumbled up now from a default installation...

Hi Michael,
Dont lose any sleep over this... It works.

Hi Burr, the one to look for is in the [Commands] section:

[Commands]
UseDiameterDefault=n
NonRepeatingCommands=delete undo redo
DoNotRepeatShortcutKeys=n
LightingOptions={"selected":"My Favorite","themes":{"Default" <....> { lots more text on this one entry }
<...>

Your old moi.ini should have [Commands] LightingOptions=... but it will not be there in a new default created one.

Hi Michael, I saw on the upgrade page that it is possible to upgrade an educational version, is that correct? If so, is the price the same?

Hi noldo, yes well there are 2 different ways you can upgrade an educational version.

If you are no longer a student, you can get the v4 commercial version upgrade, it will work with a license from any previous version including either EDU or commercial.

If you are still a student then there will also be an EDU upgrade version available which will be at a lower cost than the regular commercial upgrade version. I do not sell the EDU versions directly myself though, they are purchased from a reseller like Studica. It will probably be a week or so before resellers will have the v4 EDU versions (both regular EDU license and EDU upgrade) set up on their web sites.
