So I decided that it might be a good idea to add this tool - there are times when I do like the effects. I went online and purchased it using PayPal but then got a message that it may take up to a week to get the key. What's up with that? How did those of you who purchased it for the HDR challenge get a key so quickly?

Depends on how the Paypal payment was processed. An "e-check" can take several days to clear.

Well darn. I should have used a credit card, but I certainly don't want to go back and try to cancel the order I have or I'll end up paying for it twice.

To be honest if I paid with an instant method I'd expect the key to be emailed to me the next working day.

Of course if I payed by slow transfer I'd have to allow for that. And yeah, the e-cheques are slow. Sigh.

I usually get the key mailed to me the same day, usually within the hour, when I've purchased software online. I guess I normally use a credit card, though. Not sure what possessed me to use PayPal this time. It won't happen again!

I got mine (key)within minutes last week. Don't forget that you can get it for 70% off if you are a student.

Ah, Deb... Paypal e-checks take a while to clear. CC is the way to go if you want instant gratification. It may not be the whole week though; it can be as little as 24 hours, though in the weekend who knows?

Thanks for that!! I am a teacher and I can get the discount too! I would not have noticed if you had not said something.

Deb,

Go ahead and pay for it twice. When you get the 2nd key, send it to me :P

And I can't wait to see some of those HDR castles and breweries.
