Hmmm... I'm having the same issue. I bought it a few hours ago, downloaded and installed it. Still nothing. I just submitted a ticket about it.
It worked!
Same here. Daz has provided second serial number for Fluidos, but not Fluidos II.
And I thought, I will try simulate something in Fluidos II right away...
Really dissapointed.
Did you uninstall Fluidos v1.3 (they cannot work side by side)? Uninstall only the "Fluidos for Daz Studio" v1.3 plugin. On the other hand, the old contents are compatible with the new version.
The serial numbers of Fluidos II contain a "020" at the eight position (this indicates the version 2) instead of "010".
Got a non working serial number too ...
Nope, both have 010
I have tried to change "010" to "020" in the serial number I have received from Daz after purchase of FLUIDOS II, but Daz Studio does not accept it.
Thanks for letting me know, that the first version need to be uninstalled, first.
Has anyone received a working version of serial number for FLUIDOS II, yet?
The some problem here, no serial for Fluidos II
This is wrong. Submit a ticket to DAZ, please.

No, don't change the serial number. They gave you an erroneous one.
Submit a ticket, please.
I'd like to know if anyone has a valid FLUIDOS II serial number, please.
Ahead of you - already done
Just checked - and the answer is no. I'll submit a ticket, but unless they can sort these yet today we probably won't get a fix until Monday at the earliest.
ETA: Ticket submitted.
I have already did that, but has received just a confirmation e-mail from Daz - not the fix for the problem.
I reported the problem to DAZ, anyway.
just checked mine and it’s a fluidos 1 serial, not the one for fluidos 2.
Count me. I have no serial code for version 2, too. So disappointed.
I'm sorry about that.
I have no control over the serial numbers, only DAZ could resolve this issue.
Probably, they won't fix the problem before next Monday.
So, I could give you a temporary solution, a trial version valid until December 4th. This fix is for Win64 only (if anyone wants a fix for macOS version, let me know, please)
If you don't feel comfortable with moving and copying files inside the folder where Daz Studio is installed (\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4\), better wait for the Serial Number.
It was solved.
Instructions:
When you receive your correct Serial Number:
Seriously, no upgrade options for people who bought Fluidos I and additional content for Fluidos? Extremely disappointing, especially if you bought Fluidos more or less recently. Gonna give this one a pass and use other programs for it instead.
I'll pass this, too because of the price.
Fluido is for me just "nice to have", but not realy needed.
Maybe I consider of getting it, if there's a deal with over 70% discount... but only maybe.
For Blender there are much better simulations for much less money.
The pricing is wrong. He will get more money for less price.
But the ecosystem is right. Everybody seems to wait for particle system here. I pay because it's more convenient for my job.
What I don't understand is, what are DAZ people doing. Where are our serial# till now?
I'll be honest here, I don't think the price is justified. Especially if someone takes a glimpse at the indirect competition (looking at Blender Flip Fluids).
I can comprehent the thought process of putting a high price tag on it but it's not how economy works.
There's a so called "break-even-point" in the economy, which is the optimum point where offer and demand meet and I think with such a high price tag (especially without a upgrade reduction for existing customers) you will just harm yourself more than it helps you.
I have the same issue. I've got a support ticket in but haven't heard anything on it
Alberto has contacxted daz about this, which seems to affect all purchasers, and they will prsumably fix it - though of course with the Thanksgiving holiday it may not be fixed immediately.
Thank you for share your thoughts. I appreciate this.
I only want to remark that the price of Blender Flip Fluids is $76 and it's in sale only a few times in the year (25 % off). You know that DAZ sales are more frequent and with much higher discounts.
Moreover, Blender Flip Fluids, although a great software, don't simulate Smoke nor Volumetric fire.
I did my best to improve every single feature of the plugin. Fluidos II is way superior to Fluidos v1.3.
I made the effort to maintain the compatibility of FLUIDOS II with the FLUIDOS presets and the Fluidos Companion.
Fluidos II is not simply Fluidos with more features. Fluidos II is completely reformed in the inside. And will be free updates with substantial additions.
I don't think so
.
I love how people say "x" is a better option than Fluidos II without even trying it out... can I say FLIP Fluids is better for the price? I don't know! It looks cool in the store but I haven't used it nor Fluidos II (yet, waiting for that serial number). Like it has been mentioned already, Daz prices almost never are the price most people buy the stuff. I certainly did not get it for 83$, much less 119.95$. And if, let's assume, the liquid simulation is a bit better there, I still think the price is fair considering it is a native solution inside Daz. The day most of my work is in Blender then I'll consider options in Blender. Or if there really is a way better and cheaper option (which I doubt).
Personally, I was going to wait to buy it because looking at the promos I really couldn't tell how much better than Fluidos 1.3 it is, but the comparison images posted here convinced me 100%. In fact, Alvin, I feel you'd really benefit from having comparison pictures on the product page. As someone already using Fluidos, I really can't see why not upgrade and yes, without any extra Fluidos owner discount.
Does that mean there is an upgrade option for existing customers now?
Also @surody: thank you so much for the hint with Blender Flip Fluids! That looks so so so awesome! And Blender already has good native smoke and fire simulation options imho. That will do just fine for my purposes.
No, I meant getting it yourself if you are already using Fluidos, it is an upgrade.
I still want to know about the install process. That is the break or make question for me.
The previous version took so much finagling to get it functional.
Hmm... Did you try Fluidos when it was just released or have you tried to install it recently? In the beginning, it had its problems but iirc I just installed version 1.3 directly with the IM, activated the plugin like any other plugin and that's it. That seems to be also the case with Fluidos II but with the serial number issue I haven't been able to activate it yet. You also have to remove Fluidos 1.3 if you are going to install Fluidos 2.
