Main DxO Nik Collection 8 [Windows]

Nice, but I thought I could use my Serial Key of version 7 to unlock this one. Well, going to spend 80 Euros on the upgrade.

 

Thanks !

 

Thanks !

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks!!!

 

Thanks so much - looks like they ditched perspective efex - i believe we have to use Viewpoint 5 now to do the job

 

I'm having issues with lightroom booting any of the nik * plugins when i choose 'edit in' then choose whichever Nik8 plugin, it works fine in my photoshop - anyone else having this issue???? or have a solution please

 

Yes, perspective efex was removed from Nik Collection since version 7. BTW, I've updated Viewpoint to version 5.5 here:

What’s new in
NIK COLLECTION 8.1?
NIK COLLECTION 8.1 is a free update for existing users and includes new features and refinements designed to improve both creativity and ease of use.

Compare edits in Nik Silver Efex using the original image
You can now view your black-and-white edits alongside the original color photo, making it easier to apply filters and adjustments based on the source image. It’s a small but powerful change that came directly from user feedback.

Better performance and stability
Nik Collection 8.1 also includes a number of minor fixes and improvements across the suite, helping to ensure a smoother, more reliable editing experience.

thanks !!

 

Does not work for me.
After applying the Patch I get this error when starting the software: The license could not be verified due to a server error

 

The patch worked for me. In fact, all the patches based on the jaguar head have been reliable and have worked in previous DXO Nik Collection cracks. You're the first person to report that it didn't work, so please check that you are following the correct sequence.

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. I deleted everything from the old installation, reinstalled, and applied the patch. I still get the message "The activation process failed due to an unknown server error." My PC is disconnected from the Internet. I need help! Could someone send me the patched files?

 

More information would be ideally needed.
E.g. in the patch window you have bottom left a blue area - right mouse click and you can extract the patch information AFTER the patching was done. The menu reads "Copy to Clipboard". Out of interest I installed the app.

My logs shows success "Ok" for each line

When starting the app, do NOT block it via the firewall
When I do I see your error.

My issue is, when I unblock the app, I no longer see the registration error, but Nik Collection crashes after a minute or so.
I am overall no longer using the nik collection as I do not like the look on my pictures especially Silver Efex is creating (like it when I started)
Will uninstall it now again.
Hope this helps but again be more descriptive / share logs/window screenshots with stuff like this.

 

First of all, thanks for your reply. I also got the blue patcher window message (but it still gives me an error!). The application isn't blocked by the firewall, but my PC is disconnected from the Internet. Tonight I'll try launching Nik by first connecting my PC to the Internet. I also read that it might deactivate after 37 days (for unofficial versions). Thanks. BYE

 

From DxO:
Practical information
• You can activate your Nik Collection 8 software on up to 3 computers.
• An internet connection is required to use the software and specifically for its activation. After online activation, Nik Collection can be used offline for 37 days before a connection to DxO’s servers is required. Notifications advising that a connection is needed will be displayed after 30 days.

 

Yes, that seems to explain a lot. I'm actually permanently connected to the internet and have never had any issues with Nik Collection validation. Unless you have a good reason not to be connected to the internet, it seems that, once you are connected, you will be able to activate the Nik Collection.

 

Yes you can since I purchase Nik 7 and made my upgrade to 8. Nik can be activated in 3 machines
