Hi,

I am from Sheridan College and we got our Lumion educational license.

How to get the Lumion installer for our student's laptops?

Thanks

Hi Ram, is the link to the Download Manager not listed in the email that contains your License Key and Activation Code?

Our Technologist is away for a break and we initially got a 60 license from a different school.

We started using that but on Friday the license got changed to reflect our school (Sheridan College) and all the prior installation now has an invalid key error message.

Thanks

Hello again, Ram - my colleague Corine has informed me that the problem was that 2 Educational License applications requests got mixed up at the time, so you accidentally received a License Key and Download Manager for a different university.

That license was revoked, and a new email with the correct License Key and Download Manager was sent to your colleague Wesley Tanney ("wes.tanney" @ the usual address).

Have you got access to Wesley's email inbox? If so, please follow the instructions in the email.

Make sure to uninstall Lumion on all of the PCs with the 'invalid license' error message before installing the new version.

Unfortunately I do not have access to his email.

We are able to update the lab software to the new license but not the laptops which are needed so that we can continue working on the projects

Thanks

No problem, please send an email from your work email account at Sheridan College (with your full name and job title) to Corine[at]act-3d.com.

She will then re-send the email with the License Key and Download Manager link to your email address.

Thanks

You're welcome.

Hi nolascor

Out of interest, what are the specifications of the laptops - CPU, RAM and especially the graphics card make and model?

[nolascor]

I am using a standard Lenova 540. The students buys their own laptops and I am not aware of the lab specs. Out technologist could answer that.

OK, thanks. 

Reason I ask is that laptops generally have a lower performance compared to desktop, for similar graphics card types.  So the students need to be aware of the requirements for Lumion and where a laptop may fit within those guidelines.

Presume you have provided them with the following.  If not, please make available:

1.  Which computer do you need for Lumion?.

2. Which graphics card do you need?

3.  Passmark: Videocard Benchmarks.

also:
Web site Guide: Hardware for Lumion.

The web site also mentions some laptop makes.

Thanks a lot, that has been very helpful specially since we are incorporating Lumion at the tail-end of the term and students are loving it.

[Morten]

Glad to hear that.
