Registration / Purchasing

The first time you run Cinema 4D after installation, the registration / serial code dialog will open. If you have already purchased the plugin and have a Riptide Pro serial code, you should enter that in the appropriate slot, otherwise, you can activate the plugin for a 30-day Free Trial by entering "DEMO" (in all caps, but without the quotes). Once the trial period expires, you'll have to purchase the plugin and enter a proper serial / registration code to continue using it.

You may purchase the plugin via PayPal, directly from the Riptide Pro product page at Spanki's Prop Shop. When you do so, for prompt service, please provide the following information in the extra field provided on the PayPal checkout page:

• Your full name.
• A valid e-mail address (if different than the one you use with PayPal).
• Your Cinema 4D version
• Your 11-digit Cinema 4D serial code (NOTE: If you are using a ".5" version (like R10.5), I don't need that number - I just need the 11 digits of the "CINEMA 4D" entry on the registration dialog).

...I need all of the above information before sending your serial/registration code. If you forget to enter it on the PayPal checkout page, you can send to me directly at: typhoon [at] jebroadband [dot] com

Once I have your PayPal purchase reciept and your information, I will send you a serial / registration code that you can enter in the Cinema 4D Registration dialog (from the "Help -> Personalize" menu).

NOTE: I have set up the serial codes to work on either PC or Mac, so you may be able to use the plugin and the same code on either/both machines if you have one of each (and you have valid Cinema 4D serial codes for each). If not, you may need to purchase a separate license*.

I have also set up the serial codes to work with either "temporary" or "permanent" Cinema 4D serial codes, so you will not need to get a new one from me once you get your permanent codes from Maxon.

In any event - and on a more personal note - noone is getting rich on plugin development. I am an independent developer, trying to put food on the table and pay my bills. I have tried to price the plugin reasonably and make the registration process as painless as possible, so I'd appreciate it if you return the favor by not trying to con additional serial codes from me on false pretenses ("I need new codes because the other one was my temporary code..." etc).

There are always special-case situations where I need to make allowances (as well as for new versions of C4D), but keep in mind that I have the ability to query Maxon about the validity of licenses if I think I'm being duped. Not that I plan to do so (very often, at least) - I have better ways to spend my time - I'm just hoping that you do too* ;).

* If you need additional licenses for additional machines, I'm more than happy/willing to work out some sort of a volume discount - just contact me with the details - Thanks.
