NewBlue updates

Greetings,

I have quite a few NewBlue effects that have come with various incarnations of MEP/MS and I've just updated them mostly without a problem.

I say mostly because one of the plugins I have is "Elements 3 Overlay" and the NewBlue Application Manager informs that an update is available to version 5.

This installs but does not show in MS2024. On closer investigation, Elements 5 Overlay installs in a new folder and the Application Manager informs that I need to buy a licence; this is an upgrade NOT an update.

Deleting Elements 5 Overlay does not have any repercussions with Elements 3 Overlay.

Just thought I'd post this for information.

Can't edit the original post so here's the bit I forgot to add.

Tha Application Manager states the update version is 3.0.241028 - when I download the "update" it is 5.0.241028.

Version 3 does not seem to exist.

I have emailed NewBlue Support.

What superb customer support.

Within 30 minutes of receiving the support ticket number I had an email with a new licence number.

Excellent.

Hi Andy.

Yes New Blue tend to be very on the ball.

Do you mean you got the new version of the correct update?

Mine seem to be as up to date as they can be although I'm not sure I've ever had or used the top one on my list.

Greetings Ray,

Yes the new version 5. I have to admit I don't use these effects either but the NewBlue Application Manager said it was available so available it had to be - if you get my drift😏

Hi Andy.

Oh no. I do use mine, It's I just have never had the top one showing in the list in my image above, installed or showing up on effects to instal on my system as far as I can recall.
