Hi, Anyone that uses Machinery HDR Effects that can help me before I go completely bald with pulling out my hair?
I purchased this HDR software as I felt it did a good job on production of natural looking photographs with the use of HDR, anyway you can only purchase via download and it is activated by the company via email to protect against piracy I assume.
My problem is I use a computer that is NOT connected to the net (photo only) on this instance I connected it just for download and activation but now when I try to use the software I get an error message saying no Internet connection available I have emailed the company but all I got back was the following
To authorize Machinery you need an Internet connection.
A connection is needed only for the time of authorization. After it
you can disconnect computer from the Internet.

Did this but still get error message when I try to boot from desktop icon so sent another email and the reply was
By disconnecting from the Internet you probably change your PC's
configuration, e.g. by disconnecting your network card or external modem.

So if anyone else has this software "Do you have the problem when not connected to the net"?

Many Thanks
Russ
