Title: Switch Corona render from my old Cinema R21 to new Cinema R23
Post by: franm on 2021-01-09, 05:44:09

I have been using a student version of Cinema4D R21, along with Corona installed.  I just got a new 6 month student subscription and they gave me a license this time for Cinema4D R23, and it came with its own installer. I have successfully installed the new Cinema R23.  Now I see Corona is no longer showing up.  How do I switch Corona from my old inactive Cinema4D R21 to my new Cinema4D R23?   Do I have to uninstall or remove it and then reinstall it somehow??  Thanks.

Just install Corona in your new R23 installation (run the installer and check the right boxes). R23 requires a different compile than R21, that's all. Make sure to use at least version 6 of Corona Render.

But I don't know how to "install Corona in your new R23 installation.." I downloaded Corona the first time when I first got Cinema R21 and al went well.  Don't know how to make that happen for new Cinema R23 installation. Don't know what a compile is.  Real novice.
