Alfred Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 52 minutes ago, R C-R said: I assume you mean the "Import Macros..." item on the Library Studio panel. When the Explorer window opens, can you navigate to the folder where the unzipped content files are located? If so, look for items with an .afmacros extension. I wonder if Graham is trying to import the zip archive instead of unzipping it first. 52 minutes ago, R C-R said: You must drag the .afmacros file onto the application icon, not onto a document. As far as I know, dragging and dropping onto the application icon is only supported by the Mac version. I presume from the reference to Explorer (rather than Finder) that we’re talking about the Windows version here.

You are probably right about that. Since I do not use a Windows PC, I just assumed this worked the same way on both.

gumbo23 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I cannot find the update on the App Store, or the option to turn Welcome on, or any results for 'welcome' when searching help. Any other advice?

No the promotional offer of free content with a purchase is technically over. Right now we are leaving the offer available in the software welcome dialog. Those people who have bought or upgraded but not yet claimed can still claim (at the moment) and should do it NOW. The offer will disappear soon enough, probably when the claims rate has reduced, but we have stopped promoting that it comes with this included/free content. So technically the offer has finished, but practically it it still there.

When you say that the link broke down, do you mean that you have not yet created a store account and claimed this free content or you claimed it but cannot download.
