BETA expires....then what?

After having tested out the demo of MOI before and now being frustrated with the other options (SubD, Poly, etc.), I told my boss I NEED this program. So he promptly ordered on Friday and the process went perfect without a hitch. So first Kudos to the ordering process. But now on to the question at hand. With a license for version 1 and access to v2 BETA I'm sure I won't want to go without the new options in v2 and will opt to work in that version. Since the BETA is limited to a certain time frame, what are my options when the BETA time expires and I'm in the middle of a project? Will the time be extended or the new BETA released to download? Of course, as soon as v2 is release we'll be purchasing it, but I'm just concered about the time in between. Maybe an option to pre-order v2 and have unlimited acess to BETA (no time expire).

Other than that, this "little" engine-that-could is a gem amongst the slew of modelling applications out there. I actually enjoy modelling even boring technical objects. It's just so damn fun. :)

.....and who said SubDs are the future of modelling?

Best Regards,

Hi Tree, thanks very much for your order and I'm glad that you are enjoying using MoI!

There actually won't be any time in between - I'll be releasing a new beta that will have the expiration date bumped forward some more so that there will be something like at least a month overlap between the v2 final release and the expiration of the last v2 beta.

So if your currently installed v2 beta expires before the final v2 release, there will be a newer v2 beta that you can download to keep working in v2.

When the v2 final is out, there will be an upgrade license available for v1 owners to be able to get v2 at a reduced price.


And yes, there is so much improved stuff in v2 that you'll likely want to be using it instead of v1. There is a collection of all the v2 release notes going over all the new stuff here:

Hey Burr, I'm back!

Well, after coming back from Hawaii, I realised that because you guys are 20 hrs behind us in Oz, I could never win, so if V2 comes out on a Sunday afternoon, it'll be Monday over here ;)

Maybe Swatch internet time would correct that, but it seems it was inaccurate and dropped, oh well.....sigh!
