Hi,

Thanks for your interest in DSSR, and for posting on this forum. I am aware of the issue, and put the following note in the Download instructions.

Quote
DSSR v1.9.10-2020apr23 --- This version corresponds to the paper "DSSR-enabled innovative schematics of 3D nucleic acid structures with PyMOL" (2020) in Nucleic Acids Research. From version 2.0 (released around the summer of 2020), DSSR has been licensed by the Columbia Technology Ventures (CTV), who manages the free DSSR Academic licenses as well as paid DSSR Pro licenses for both academic and commercial users. I've lately learned of academic users from certain countries having trouble in getting DSSR Academic licenses. This pre-licensed version is provided (as is) here to fill the gap: it is slightly outdated but still works well. Whenever possible, however, users should obtain the latest version of DSSR through CTV --- it is free for academic uses and fully supported by the NIH R24GM153869 grant.

Best regards,

Xiang-Jun

Hi,

I have the same problem. Even after following the instructions and completing the registration, it still shows as “Site announcement”. 

Could you please advise on what I should do next?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Changdong

Hi Changdong,

Thanks for reaching out. You should now be able to see the Download link at the very top of the forum.

Due to a high volume of spam, I have implemented a filter for registered users. Although your account was created in 2018, it remained in a "Pending" category because you had not yet posted on the 3DNA Forum. Once a user's first post is approved, the Download link becomes visible automatically.

Best regards,

Xiang-Jun
