So I bit the bullet and upgraded to PD13 Ultimate with Adorage. On CL's download page for the 5 separate files, they have a serial key for PD13 and Adorage, but when installing Adorage it never asked me for it, and I don't see a place to enter it in the stand-alone program. According to the online Adorage manual pdf:
During installation, you are prompted to enter a licence key. If you have received the software via
download, this licence key was included with the e-mail sent to you providing download instructions.

I was never prompted for that license key. Anyone else know what to do?

Hi Russel; does it work? Perhaps it is built in or perhaps it will ask later. I don;t remember putting in a key.
If you have never used it, drage the Adorage icon between two images/videos and then right clcik to modify. In the screen that shows up, you can change the duration and the type of transition. Just below the type is a button that says something like 'Stand Alone'. Click on that and a new window will open You can then select the one you want.
Note that I just installed the program into a brand new computer on Friday so I think I would have remembered a different code. BUT I am getting older. .

PD13 Ultimate comes with proDad Adorage pack 9 and 13 (which are combined into one program). After installation, the installer for Adorage asks if you want to run the program right away since it can be run as a stand alone program as well as a plug-in. It seems to work fine, and I can see the #9 effects and the #13 effects nodes in the program. I haven't used Adorage within PD yet. I just can't figure out why CL sent me a license key for it if it's not needed. No big deal as long as it works, I guess!
I looked all over the standalone program, Carl, and found nowhere to enter a license key. I can't imagine they would make it this hard to find if it's required, though.
Maybe it'll ask for it later?

Maybe it's there if they produce an update or something, they have a few patches for it on their website, the latest being support for PD13. Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 Mainboard : Intel i7 2700k @ 3.6ghz: 12 gb DDR3 Kingston ram:

Hi Russell1967 -
If it's of any comfort to you, I've purchased a couple of Adorage volumes. They've been supplied with a 'key' but it hasn't been required in every installation. I've done a few because of complete uninstalls/re-installs of EVERYTHING. Sometimes it asks for the key - other times not
After purchase, the email included this statement: 'For your maximum comfort, the registration is already solved with your order.'... which could mean a couple of things, but it was nice they were concerned about my well-being
Bottom line - if it works, don't worry about it.
Cheers - Tony

It seems to work fine for me - standalone and within PD13 - so I'm not going to worry about it. I have the license key saved if I ever need it.
