Release version 2.5.0.5 and the 2.5.1.79 beta should not be run on the same machine. This could negatively impact those who use Hexagon in a production environment. 2. If you install 2.5.1.79 over your 2.5.0.5 you will need to use the new serial number provided below. Your old 2.5 Serial Number will not work any more. Known Issues: 1. Sculpties can cause issues. 2. DS Bridge on the Mac is supposed to work with the next DAZ Studio 4 build but only partially works with DAZ Studio 4.0.2.55 (Released version). 3. We know there are many issues with Mac OSX Lion. Hexagon is not certified to run on that platform at this time. How Do I Get This Build?
