Phew! once again my laziness pays off

[aniajudie]

for me , this max thing is way overpriced.

[Lazos]

I guess I'll pipe in. Same deal as babkubwa, et. al. I'd love to test out M4L and maybe buy it, but just can't without a demo @ that price point. Eagerly awaiting the Abes' reply.

At this point I can attempt to load a M4L factory set, and devices are installed but disabled; info is pointing toward just adding an authorization instead of running in a demo mode. Unless I missed something.

go to preferences, user account licenses, show all demo choices at startup =yes

[babkubwa]

that options not there in user account preferences for me.

don't have that option here either...

how strange that some of us have the option & some dont, im running 8.1 suite download.

have you guys who are stuggling installed the latest version of max?

Have the Abes even announced that the demo is actually released yet? I don't think so.

I do remember that some people were somehow getting an option to run M4L in what seemed to be a demo mode early after the release, but it wasn't official and it was a mystery as to why it was happening.

I think that may be what is going on here.

I just installed Max and it said 23 days left (go figure... I tried to get it to work a while ago, must still remember?)

yeah it does seem to be more of a back door unofficial access thing than a fully endorsed demo, but i only bothered to download the 8.1 upgrade when i saw threads mentioning it so i dont see its something abes have written out already if they would bother too.

im sold on it, just need to recover from christmas and ill be making a purchase. i doubt i would have been keen if i hadnt had the chance to play wth it in demo mode, so far ive only been a little luke warm towards it and dubious as t o whether i would need it.

Any Response? I'm on 8.1.1 and still no 'show all demo choices at startup' option in preferences

[babkubwa]

no none yet. I guess the festivals still in full swing!
