Registering Plugins - not working!

Hi all!
I have several Plugins that I am unable to register.
Basically entering the serial (which I have in my account in Daz3d) into the "About Installed Plugins" does not do anything.
Restarting does not help.
I have been able to register other plugins before - but haven't done so in a while.
I am using DAZ Version:

Alvin Bemar Typi3D: fonts to 3D - Windows version
Alvin Bemar FLUIDOS II for Daz Studio
Alvin Bemar  FLUIDOS for Daz Studio
Rob Whisenant Measure Metrics for DAZ Studio
itSeez3D Face Transfer 2

e.g.


Any clues on what steps I should take?
How can I contact any of these authors for help?

Thanks
Chris

    Does the box after the plug-in name in Help>About Installed plug-ins vanish after entering the serial number, or does it remain with the place-holder text (prefix plus a string of Xs)?

    It remains in place...

    So, try entering the serial number aain - making sure that the first parts matches the box to which you are adding it.

    I did that SERVERAL times... to no avail...

    That is why I am seeking out help...
    E.g. I just tried again with the Typi3D: fonts 2D to 3D.

    What happens after entering the serial number - is the box gone if you Acept and reopen the dialogue, before you restart Daz Studio? What happens if you go offline, suspect your security software, and then try entering the serial numbers?

    See Attached Image - this is what it looks like.
    Restarting doesn't do anything good.

    Somehow I suspect that "trial" message - there was another thread that mentioned trial periods and troubles.
    I never had or used a trial. I bought the plugin some weeks ago - and just recently tried registering it.

    But I definitely bought it - see serials in my account (image above) or the shown purchased image...

    Messages and behaviour of the other not registered plugins - act the same.

    Also - previous registrations worked... e.g.
    MeshGrabber:
    But I did that some months prior...

    I don't know how to fix your issue, but I read on another post that Fluidos 1 and Fluidos 2 should not be installed together. Just to make sure it works properly, I would uninstall them both and reinstall Fluidos 2.

    On some crazy level the application knows the serial - e.g. in DIM it tells me it knows the serial number - I just can't use the damn plugin...

    DIM retrieves the serial number from your account, it has nothing to do with entering it into Daz Studio. You didnt answer all of my previous questions.

  • Richard HaseltineRichard Haseltine Posts: 102,087

    Another possibility is permission issues - if the serial number cannot be written because access is blocked. What kind of account are you using, and is it the account DS was installed through? Are you using any utilities that are meant to protect or auto-clean the registry?

    I completely removed all DAZ artefacts from my computer and reinstalled it.
    Took me several hours to get my assets right again.

    But after reinstalling I can now register the plugins.
    Still feel bad about the willfullness of DAZ - and the complete wrong messages about "Trial" peroids. I could not find out what caused it.
    But now I can keep working and use those plugins, although alltogether it cost me probably about 2 days of time I had rather spent doing something else.

    Thank you for listening anyway.
