NIK version 2.5 from 2.3

tilltheendofeternity · February 26, 2020, 4:19pm

According to my NIK software I am on 2.3. Checking with DxO I am up to date.

Yet NIK 2.5 is now available.
Is this an update to 2.3?
or a paid upgrade only?

Hi,

Your DxO account might not be in sync yet. Just launch one of the plugin and the link to the update installer will be made available. The update is free.

Cool, although I did that to check my version number lol.

I’ll give it a day or so to synch.

Thanks for the swift reply.

You can just launch one of the plugins standalone (just run the .exe). The available update will be detected.

I did. CFEX4 and nothing.

Just repeated it. Nothing.

and SEP2

Just logged into my DxO account and says it is up to date.

Now I know it is a free update rather than a paid upgrade I will simply try again over the next few days. As you note, the accounts may not have been synched yet.

Try Analog Efex.

I had the same experience. However, I just downloaded and installed. When I finished the Nik Collection programs were all at 2.5.

tilltheendofeternity · February 26, 2020, 4:57pm

Just tried them all. Zero.

tilltheendofeternity · February 26, 2020, 4:58pm

You installed the trial version?

ButchR · February 26, 2020, 4:59pm

No. I installed from my account. Even though it said I was up to date.

tilltheendofeternity · February 26, 2020, 5:02pm

Ok, will give that a try.

tilltheendofeternity · February 26, 2020, 5:46pm

Cool, that worked. Thanks for the tip

nsanyal · February 26, 2020, 10:01pm

That’s what I did. Worked like a charm.

I did the same thing and all were updated to NIK 2.5. I had to open one of them and click on the Nik name to get it to display the version number. That was the only way I could tell that they were updated.

Or you could drill down to the location of the files themselves and see that the creation dates had changed.

The burning question: What has changed in the NIK collection between 2.3 and 2.5.
Is there a What’s new document /

Hello, I have a problem with using NIK with Photoshop 2020. I have trial version. Computer stops working at every time during saving work in NIK
This problem didnt exists in PS 2018.
Could you help me?

Vik · March 4, 2020, 6:12pm

What do you mean by computer stops? Nik software freezes while saving the file?
