Re: NX2 version 2.3 and Color Efex Pro 3
In reply to Patco, Jan 17, 2012

I agree. there is absolutely no longer any rationale to have 32 bit and 64 bit any more. THe reason people were doing that was that 32 bit nik CEP 3 wouldn't work on the new CNX2 64 bit. BUT, now that Nik has made CEP 3 64 bit, with the new update, you can make it work fine with the new 64 bit CNX2.

I still think you have to pay to upgrade Nik CEP version 2 to version 3 for $49. That is all you have to do. Just go ahead and do it. It's probably already going to be the latest 64 bit version. But of course, you have to have the product key for your original version CEP 2. Do you even have the product key? PErhaps you don't have one that is legitimate and that is why you keep asking Nik for a key?

Color Efex Pro 3 (and 4) is a 32 bits app; the advantage of NX2 2.3 is in the 64 bits app which is by far faster. So to combine both, I choosed to save the directory of NX2 32 bits 2.2.8 with Color Efex Pro 3 before updating to 2.3 (which deletes the previous version !) then I restored the "old" NX2 in "program files (x86)", thus I have two versions of NX2 (i) the 32 bits 2.2.8 with CEP3 (ii) the 64 bits 2.3 without, both work flawlessly and I choose my version at will. This is a little bit tricky but very usefull.

If you already own CEP 3, you can update to ver. 3.004 for free, which will install in either the 32 or 64 bit version of Capture NX 2.30. There is no need to have two versions of Capture NX 2 installed.
