HELP! Dongle emulator needed 3d Studio Max

Submitted by moonwitch on

HELP! The dongle for my registered and fully owned (HAHAHA- not according to Kinetix)has been corrupted. I am running release 2.5 and cannot get into the program! I emailed the distributor and they said that because the software was so old they wouldnt replace the dongle - I'd have to upgrade and buy the new version....
Well me money tree aint growing hundred dollar bills! In fact I think its dead....

I really really want to get this software up and running again - does anyone know how I can do this without paying a lot of money?

*This* is what's wrong with copy protection. Honest people get screwed. Sorry dude, but I think it's time for a visit to ebay.

KingofDaveness:
Then they should be sending Moonwitch a new dongle right now I guess? lol

Moonwitch:
In all seriousness never ask for a crack, go through the right channels.

As you have paid for it they owe you some type of support, you may just need to send back the dongle and some proof of purchase.

Autodesk will tell you where you stand.
