Title: After Jan. 1st 3dsmax won't open
Post by: ronh on 2015-01-03, 06:05:07

3dsmaxV15 will not open upon boot up as a critical error occurs stating "free version of Corona cannot be used after 31.12.2014. Aborting initialization".
W.t.f.?   I go to Add/Remove Programs and there is nothing under Corona nor Polymax or whatever the company name is. 
Ok, I can reinstall 3dsmax and hassle with new authentication codes, etc but really!!!! Guess I could install the new 7.1 build or whatever the number is such that it hopefully overides this error message.  However, is all of this really necessary?  WHY Corona?
B.t.w......I no longer wish to use the program.
thx in advance for any assistance.

You used an old build that had an unintended crash in it after the trial period is over. We released a fix about 2 months ago, it seems it unfortunately did not get through to you.  Just use the uninstaller, or install 1.0 (https://corona-renderer.com/download/) and you will be fine. We are sorry for the inconvenience
