Can you clear up the Registration for me

by NighTerrorX · in Torque X 2D · 12/12/2006 (7:44 am) · 5 replies


We are giving all owners of the Torque Game Builder the Torque X version of TGB for free too! If you already own Torque Game Builder - INDIE, you can use the registration key for TGB found on your My Account Page to unlock the TGBX trial.


I am a little unclear what this line means for 2 reasons:
1. my line item for TGB actually says: "Torque 2D EA - INDIE License - TGE Discount"
2. I don't have a registration key for mine.

I have not fired up the executables/install, but I do see the TorqueX OpenBeta download, but I didn't want to open the wrong thing and it back fires on me. What is the registration key unlocking -- does it remove the 30 day trial period thus turning the TGB into a Torque X Pro Hybrid?

a little unclear as to how to move forward.

Thanks

I don't have a key as well (I purchased TGB as an early adopter).

The key is used to get past the 30 day demo of the TGB editor. You can still use the TorqueX lib without it.

Yea I noticed that also and found the editor in the download link for Torque 2D EA - INDIE License - TGE Discount. Only problem is after I installed the editor I get an error when I try to run it and it quits. I think this is the unlocked version but I cant tell since I get this error....

Okay, I just went through the install process myself and you're right, it's kinda confusing as written.

Everyone has to install the Torque X Open Beta.

Torque Game Builder - INDIE owners can then use the reg key on their MyAccount page to unlock the 30-day free trial of TGBX that is installed with the Torque X Open Beta.

All other TGB owners can download the TGB Editors for Torque X from their TGB download page, which will install an unlocked copy of TGBX over the top of the 30-day free trial.

Hope that helps.

So, I have TGB commercial, does this mean that I automatically get TGBX?

I am assuming Torque X is going to be a separate product

Yes it does. You can download it from the download link next to TGB Commercial on your MyAccount page. But download and install the Torque X Opoen Beta first.

Torque X is a separate (free) product. When we are ready to release the source code, Torque X Pro will be available for $150.
