Correct Version?

[Steven547]

Quick question: I just purchased the 2007 upgrade and downloaded the update (v. 13.0r). When I load up my program, it shows the OZ screen, but when I view the "about A:M" to verify that the correct update has been applied, it says "A:M 2006 13.0r". Is this correct or should it say "A:M 2007" ? Thanks.

The manual/cd should really direct you here:

This is where you can get the latest updates. You have v13r because it's out of beta. v14 is what you're entitled to download with your cd. But as you can see, it's still only at the alpha stage so it's not ready for prime time. You can download the alpha to test out if you want.

Steven,

With the Oz CD you've got access to both v13 and v14 (currently in Alpha).

 

v13r is the latest update carried over from 2006.

v14 is still in Alpha but I imagine it could move up to Beta sometime soon.

At the very least I'd think v14 will be released in full version by SIGGRAPH (July?)

 

If you load both v13 and v14 you'll see the different version labels in several places.

Under the Help Menu and at the top left of the screen.

 

The CD works on a subscription basis.

By purchasing in 2007 you are getting v13 and v14 and all updates released in 2007.

You'll see a few more v14 updates in 2008 as well in most cases.

 

Hope I haven't confused you.

Bottom line is that the final release of v14 hasn't been released yet.

But you have v13 until then (and after that too if need be).
