When I try to launch CINEMA 4D, I get a 'String Resource Not Found' error.

This error occurs when a portion of the Resource folder has either become corrupt or is missing. It can also occur when an update is applied improperly and application or module resources from one release are installed with the executable from a different release.

You can resolve this situation by re-installing the software, making sure to follow the directions carefully.

However, you can input your permanent serial number before your temporary serial number expires by selecting Help=>Personalize and replacing your temporary serial number with your permanent number in that dialog.
