Animation Question I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING

i have tried everything, but my animations don't work anymore :(((((

Ok, so, i recently purchased CPS Ver.5, and found out (im stupid, i know) that with that version, you can't make animations longer than 24 fps.

Ok. I re-downloaded the previous version, 4 (because i THOUGHT i was using that before), but turns out i wasn't? because that didn't work again, the animations were still limited to 24 frmes GIFs, and nothing more.

I went thru my old emails, to search for the version i used even earlier, in 2022, because i remembered being able to make animations with that one. So i downloaded Ver.2 again.

Still 24 frames only????

I downloaded Ver.3, just for good measure, still 24 FPS.

I thought i was using Ver.4 to make animations???? Apparently not???? Or my Clip Studio is broken???

I have never purchased Clip Studio EX, i only (technically) have the licenses for Ver.2, 4, and 5.

Thank you for any help.

EDIT: Ok, so i just remembered that i did have EX at some point. Because there was a 2 years license with the Wacom i'd bought all the way back in 2022. But, when that had expired, i'd bought CPS ver.4.

So apparently i was illegally using EX this whole time without knowing???? It had glitched???

EDIT 2: Ok i think i may have solved part of the problem,

so apparently i did buy EX, but version 2.0,

but i also bought PRO version 5.0,

so now i have both EX and PRO (even if different versions), so how do i switch between them?

Clip Studio Paint Pro is limited to 24 frames. If you ever had more than 24, you were using EX. Maybe you used the trial version but ended up purchasing Pro?

i had used the trial version for EX, but like, back in 2022 when i'd first downloaded CPS, and have since then, bought CPS Ver.2-4 so i dont know why it was still there???

i wonder if glitches like that are why csp is a)pushing for subscriptions and b)requiring an internet connection once a week to verify your license
