google offering nik collection for $149

[Beth Carter]

they say the bundle is free if you've purchased any nik plugin in the past 5 year. and they also say it's virtually identical to the old nik, except for the all-in-one installer.

Google to offer all of Nik’s software plugins for $149

edit - use coupon code MORETHANWORDS15 for 15% off.

 

[Stephen McCullough]

Thanks for posting this Beth. I like the Nik applications. I also like their instructional videos. I was concerned Google would kill these applications.

This at least signals some positive intent.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Beth. I had a look at the new Google Nik site and they say you just need to put your existing serial numbers in to get the 'new' version. Shame they don't show you where that is but I guess all will become clear!

 

[Dave Green]

I'll be having that then!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah and me! Is that right $149 for the whole lot!??

 

[Dave Green]

Yep - done the deal - installed.

 

[Pete Askew]

It is indeed. You can imagine how pleased I am given that we own 4 sets of licenses for the full suite (and some standalone SilverFx and ColorFX ones!).

 

[Beth Carter]

Yeah and me! Is that right $149 for the whole lot!??

that's what it sounds like. $149 (USD) for the all-in-one installer.

 

[Pete Askew]

And the site has maxed out now!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Yeah, that's a few grands worth of licences! Or it was ...
But anyway, try and think of the positives ... Now the rest of us can use glamour glow

 

[Pete Askew]

I'm going to stop using that now. So there!

 

[Beth Carter]

and a bit more discount for those of you who haven't bought it yet, 15% off with coupon code MORETHANWORDS15

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Should I download the new versions? I have the full suite already.

At some point Nik will have emailed you to ask for your grand permission to transfer the registration data to Google. If you agreed, Google /Nik will email you. My email arrived earlier.

Basically, you just have to click a button, download the package, and it instals all the applications (or plugins). It even says not to worry if you have some already installed.

For your reading pleasure, herewith the text of the email:

Dear Stephen,

Thanks for being a long-time Nik customer. As a registered owner of one or more of our software products, we are pleased to announce that you are now eligible for a free copy of the new Nik Collection by Google, which includes all six of our award-winning plug-ins for Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture.

To be sure you have the latest version of the Nik plug-ins, click the link below to download the Nik Collection. Your download will begin automatically.

When the download is complete, locate the file on your computer, double-click on the installer and follow the onscreen instructions. There is no reason to uninstall the previous versions first.

We hope you enjoy your new software. If you have any questions, please visit the Nik Collection Help Center

The Nik and Google+ Photos team

Yep, agreed to the transfer some time back. I guess it will turn up. I've also emailed them to find out what is going on.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Keep us posted, Pete.

Hi Stephen, Is the download link a one time download specific to you or did you have to enter an existing S/N to activate the product?

I own a registered copy of Colour FX PRO 4 but have not received an email. I wonder if we can use the same link you were sent if you post it, if we have valid S/Ns.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You go first, Paul

Sorry Rob, I don't follow?
