Q. Installation problem

A. If you are getting message like "Cannot copy file..." you have to repeat download (you don't need to buy it again, just go to download section of our website and repeat download. Download page is here: http://vis.glass3d.com/content/download_pro.htm). This error is usually caused by Internet connection problems.

If you see "Invalid Serial Number" message please read the following information:
- Your registration name is case-sensitive, so you have to enter it exactly like in registration e-mail.
- When you enter the registration code there is no letter "O" but there is number "0 (zero)" instead. The good idea is not to type your name and serial number (serial number and registration number are the same) but just USE COPY/PASTE instead. Please make sure that there are no SPACE symbols in the serial number field when you are typing or copying it.
