Plug in Nik Collection doesn't work anymore

Ik think due to the last update of Lightroom the plugins of the Nik collection, will not start up anymore. It does seem to do something, because as soon as I choose: Photo-Develop in- Silver Efex pro 2 it produces a Tiff file and puts it back in LR.

 

It's the Nik collection of 2015.... but it always worked ok !

 

Is there something wrong or is the software of Nik collection not compatible with ver 15 of LR?

 

Who knows??

Nik Collection (early version) is still working for me in LrC v15.3 & Windows-11 (Cannot comment on Mac systems).

Often, if the Nik components are installed and available on the hard drive (as standalone apps)  then they can be added (or updated) in the LrC Preferences > External Editors dialog.

DXO versions of Nik would need advice from DXO.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

Same problem here. I tried to reinstall or ré-enter the product key but could not find where to do it. Did you find a solution?
