Upgrade from Eyecandy 4000 to EC 6?

Can you upgrade from Eye Candy 4000 (Xara locked) to:
EyeCandy 6 unlocked?

They have a contact e-mail on their website http://www.alienskin.com/about_us/contact-us.aspx Ask them!

My guess is probably not. The locked version is a sampler really and not a full version.

I'd certainly be interested to know too so please report back when you hear from them. I installed the trial and it works just fine. Lots more options on the Chrome filter. Don't think I'd stump up $249 for it though.

Got this answer:

Hi
The Xara versions are sold and supported directly by Xara, not Alien Skin. We no longer make Xara versions of current products. If you wanting to upgrade for use with a supported host program, you can try using the upgrade link at our web store using your product serial code.

So it might be possible but they do not guarantee it.

Thanks for the update.

Just tried every single Xtreme product code I have and no, they aren't recognised.

Shame because as you can see, the plugin is great. Like I said, I'd pay $99, but not $249.

I know this is an old thread, but I think I can shed some light on this subject.

I purchased the eye candy 4000 plugin a few years ago through Xara and Last December I was able to upgrade to EC 6 for $99 through the EC site. If you purchased the plugin from Xara( not the free demo version) you should have a product code for Eye Candy 4000, and that's the one that will get the upgrade. It's been a long time but if you can still purchase it through Xara, 4000 may be around $50 so to get that and the upgrade to 6 you would be looking at around $150 Still quite a bit less than $249. I can also tell you that EC6 works very nicely with Designer Pro.

Hello Angelize,
I just purchase Designer Pro 7 and find out that my Eye Candy 400 it's not working anymore. In order to purchase the updated version EC6, please let me now if it works for you with the new version DP7 or you try'it with the DP6 program?
Many thanks.

I have both Eye Candy 4000 and Eye Candy 6 installed on my computer and both versions work fine in Designer Pro 7. However EC 6 does have some very nice new features.

Sorry, I have not seen your second message. Amazing ! I can't seem to make Eye Candy working with DP7. I try for 2 days now and i'm stuck. Any sugestion ? I follow the normal procedure. I already have Designer Pro 6with Eye Candy 4000 installed working (and Xenofex 2 by the way, both from Xara). When I first Installed Designer Pro 7, I also installed again the 2 plugins in DP7 plug-in directory this time, thinking that it will work just fine. Surprise, it didn't ! My files made in DP6 with Live Effects won't open in DP7 making all kind of weird things. SO I just erase live efects with DP6 from files and now it's opening just fine, but stil I need them old version so... I even erased all my Xara software completly from PC and installed again just DP7 with Eye Candy but no lack. And now it seems that from some reason, None of the Live effects (even those embeded in DP7 by default) not working anymore, even without Eye Candy 4000 installed. SO I wait for suggestion here. By for now, I have to go to work, see you in the afternoon.

Only just seen this thread so apologies for replying now and apologies if I haven't ready everything carefully.

It's as Frances says.
I can log on to my account at xara.com and get my serial number for Eye Candy 4000, then enter that to upgrade to Eye Candy 6 for $99.

I haven't purchased it though.
But I could go as far as the web site telling me that it would be $99.

So, as far as I can see, all you need is the serial number if you purchased the full version of Eye Candy 4000.

Hi Folks,

Where on the site does it show EC for sale? I can't find it.

Thanks,

http://www.alienskin.com/ I looked at one time. You could upgrade to the full version of Eyecandy 4000 at Xara, but needed to go to Alienskin for EC6. You need the EC4000 Serial Number to upgrade to EC6.

I still don't see where on the site to upgrade to 4000.....can you give a brother a hand up?

Thanks,

should be here:

EDIT: ah - do you actually mean upgrade to 4000? not from - might be a bit late for that.. as it is no longer included in current xara products...

Thanks Steve,

Ed try this link:

If you are able to purchase the Eye Candy 4000, you may need to have an older Xara product installed before it will install.

thanks Bill

Glad I can help Steve, although it is yet to be determined if the link will allow a purchase.

I simply substituted alienskin and eyecandy4000 for the provider and product info in the link to the AV Brothers Page Curl 2.2 page.

very true :)

If we can buy this please let me know. I may be quite interested to say the LEAST!

Click the link I provided and see if you can purchase Eye Candy 4000. I bought it years ago so have no need to click through to see if it still works.

What about the Alien Skin Xenofex 2 For Xara?

If you are looking for the link at Xara.com try this one:
http://site.xara.com/products/xtreme...oduct=xenofex2

I just upgraded my Eyecandy and was wondering if there was a upgrade for Xenoflex too? I didn't see it listed as a product on their website anymore.

As far as I can find Alien Skin has discontinued Xenofex http://support.alienskin.com/entries...ere-is-xenofex

I was hoping they rolled it into another product and would let us upgrade into it. Oh well...
