    Understanding we all have different set-ups: initially installed and would not run within PS (2025 version) - Win 10 - older graphics card and driver -
    Did a reboot and then would launch into chosen filter and re-save to PS as layer
    Then had licensing issues / errors
    Unfortunately had to delete from system - therefore, not usable [for me] . . .
    Hope it works for others with little compatibility issues . . . ;)

    Hi, just wondering, is this version working fine for others with PS 2026 (inside it of course)?

    read on french warez forum:
    "⚠️ There is no working patch for versions beyond 8.0.12."

    "Since then, it seems according to some that DxO now checks the integrity of EXE files by comparing them to the original unmodified versions on its servers, and then triggers a command to stop the executable. This is a new protection! So the MPT patch needs to be updated to bypass these checks!"

    "
    I had found a version 9 with a patch, it lasted 12 days… Testing with a version 8.3 with a patch: same deal. So back to 8.0.12 and… patience.

    PS: For those who don’t have the palette (like me), the solution is to copy the file com.dxo.Nik8.uxp.ps.ccx (in the Nik folder), paste it wherever you want, rename the .ccx to .zip, unzip it, and place the folder in Photoshop’s plug-ins folder… Then, in PS, go to the plug-ins menu > Nik Collection > Preferences and it’s OK, you can use the Nik plugins on masks."
