There were a lot of improvements with 5.5, "Bryce 5.5; New Version Includes Faster Render Times, Advanced Poser Content Integration, Enhanced OpenGL and Improved Network Rendering."
Also direct import from DAZ Studio.
DAZ Studio 1.0 comes with it, install it if you want to use it and have the direct import option.
I imagine Lightning 2 comes with it too, this is a rendering option.
When you start to install it you'll get to where it asks to input your name and the serial #, when there it will have the address to go to for the serial #. Shut down the install and go to the http.
If you don't have a DAZ account you'll have to set one up. There are a few offers there also, some discounts and the choice of '1' freebie from the Masters Series tutorial products.
You can use that serial number and the installer you got from download.com or go to your account page where you can now get the Bryce55.exe and the BryceLightning2.exe separate. You won't need a serial # for that Bryce installer. (Lightning is for network rendering.)
