L3DT Serial Key Expired 2022

Post by Snake Man » 2022-06-07 20:01:54

Well yesterday it happened to me too, L3DT Serial Key Expired.

There has been community reports about L3DT serials expiring and not getting new one from official homepage for the free trial, or when receiving the key it already registers as expired.

Yesterday ran L3DT, serial expired, then requested new free trial, got the email after 5min or so delay and the serial is expired, L3DT will not launch.

This is extremely bad situation for the whole terrain editing community, we have been relying on L3DT for over a decade and now all of the sudden it doesn't work anymore.

Many beginner users who read PMC ArmA 3 Ultimate Terrain Tutorial cannot follow the tutorial as a heightmap generating program is not available and many existing terrain devs have many stalled terrain projects now due existing tool not working anymore.

Have to say, I never would have imagined we reach situation this bad, I never even considered how ArmA 3 terrain community's eggs are all in one basket called "L3DT".

It is irrelevant what other tools are out there like Wilbur etc, they cannot edit the existing L3DT terrain projects.

For example when I did my real world data terrain releases just weeks ago, I heavily used L3DT on airfield runways and oceans when editing heightmap. Now, I have no way of going through my usual tool pipeline to fix ocean bottom and coast heightmap issues, airfields are so small that if it comes to that I could fix them in terrain builder, maybe.

All in all, for everyone, this situation is really really bad. I hope Aaron Torpy the dev of L3DT comes out of hibernation very soon and fixes things, but history has shown him being awol for months at the time. We have no idea how long this situation lasts, we can only hope its not permanent. If this situation gets resolved, how long until the next time we are in similar situation again...

I am currently looking for alternative free terrain editing tool which could do at least the same heightmap edits as L3DT. If you have any suggestions, please post here.

protrial_16/quokka L3DT_UNLIM_dev-22.06.0.1-x64.exe.

Looks like that is new v22.06 without any serial key garbage on it. Installed it and it launches OK without asking serial.
