3 questions about kray 2.0

Post by kbdesigns »

Hi guys. I have the demo kray 1.6, and is thinking of buying the newest version 2.0
My questions are;
Is this version worth buying, or should I just keep using the demo? I already know the answer, but I don't want to pay over $400 for something that is not going to be any different from what I have, or not going to give me better renders.
Is the download immediate after payment? Some vendor make me wait a few days for an email with a link to the software. Not going to mention any names.
and finally, Do I have to uninstall the demo before installing the new plug-ins.
Thanks.

Yes it's definitely worth it. This version is million times better and is completely incomparable to 1.6.

Yes. Download is immediate.

Yes you must uninstall all old kray* plugins.

Before I purchase kray 2.0, will it work with LW8.0?

Yes. But it has been optimized to work with latest LW.

I just bought and installed it but it crashes LW8. I know I have all the files in the right folders. I tried to add the plug-ins to LW, and that worked. I added the ls. script to scene master. I don't know how to put the license key in to LW for the plug-in. When I try to render a scene it tells me "Generic_KrayLicensingTool" error. Kray will not work with this application. Help
