ahahhhahhahha. c'mon.

thanks turbowombat, i really appreciate you being completely non-helpful. and that's from the bottom of my heart.

I'd have to agree with turbowombat on this one. Without you're CD key you can't install the SR anyway. Go back to your retailer and ask if they have you're key on file.

all i need are the bonus tools, does anyone have those at least?

you need the key to install the bounus tools as well. You're going to have to contact your "retailer" to find out your key...

Oh, and you can easily download service packs (and just about anything else) from mcneel's FTP site, which is publicly accessable. you just can't install anything without proper keys.

thanks manamana, the first helpful post.
what's the ftp site?

go to www.Rhino3d.com and look in their support section and go to the newsgroup, this is a better place to ask such questions. Although they usually get the same response.

You keep missing the part about needing a cd-key in order to install, and as you pointed out in your first post, YOU DON"T HAVE ONE!

If you really have a legit copy you can also email the man who hands out the keys directly, brian@mcneel.com or cantact your "retailer."

Now if that's not being helpful.....

By the way, SR4 is amazing.

ahahaahahahahahah!

thanks for alls the help. i'm all set.
