You can go here https://www.reallusion.com/member/program/memberreg.asp and log-in. Then Go to the Bonus Upgrades for the Product Registered.
I Have not seen what the Update includes yet, but know it does not work for me on a Windows 7 Update, which I posted on the iClone4 Issues Thread.
Cricky (Leave me a voice mail if you like.)
If you hover over the Clips below that Pop up...you get a Preview

| one thing i noticed with ic4 that i was hoping would get addressed is the IK in the motion layer editor
with iC3 you can grab the hand or the feet and move it and the forearm and upper arm (or leg and thigh) would follow - now it seems the parent has been changed in that you had to move the upper arm or thigh - this means that what used to require 1 step - moving the hand and the rest of the arm will follow now requires 2 steps, move the upper arm then lower arm
