Please help - shade 8 quit error

[PAUL CHAMBERS]

Hi
I hope someone can advise/help me.

I have just purchased Shade 8 Application cd Version 8.1.0 for Mac.

Having installed the software as per instructions I receive the message that the installation is complete. When I double click the icon from the installed Shade 8 folder an error appears.
The message states 'Shade 8 quit unexpectedly' with the option of either to 're open again' (which results in the same error) or 'click report'.

Having deleted and re-installed the software twice I still get the same result.

I have an iMac OS X Version 10.6.4.

I am a new 'Mac Convert' so am hoping that the problem is just a 'user error' so would appreciate any advice given.

One very frustrated Paul

Hi Paul and welcome,

your version does not run on Intel Macs, you will have to update it to 8.5 in order to use it.

The serial number for 8.1 is valid for 8.5, btw...
So install the 8.5 version, and use the serial number you recieved when you purchased 8.1
