Activity Forums Boris FX Particle Illusion Again… How to download PI for Win 64

    Paul,

    Wondertouch never released a true x64 bit version. The only version available now by GenArts (now BorisFX) is the x86 version 3.09 available here: https://www.genarts.com/support/downloads/particleillusion/standalone

    You mentioned a permanent Serial Number. Does that still require activation? I have been asking GenArts for an update regarding if they will be releasing a patch or something for Valid end-users so an Activation is not needed and there have been no responses back from them still.

    FYI: I have no issues using the v3.09 under Windows 7 x64 bit, just it would be nice if there was a True x64 so pi3 could use more RAM.

    Good Luck

    Thanks for the information! I was able to download and run PI but… when it asked for the serial #, I entered it and was informed that I had reached the # of uses and would have to buy a new one. Alan, help me!

    Paul,

    No Problem. You should not have to purchase another copy of pi3, but you WILL need to go to this site to create a ticket with GenArts. It appears they no longer prefer emails to support at genarts.com. The link to create a ticket, so they can reset your “count” is here: https://support.genarts.com/Tickets/Submit/RenderForm/2

    Hopefully they will get you up and running. I just wish they would release a self-activating feature already to us registered end-users. Alan no longer frequents these forums and it also appears that GenArts (now owned by BorisFX) do not either.

    Good Luck.
