Serial Number from dongle?

[mralistair]

We need to reinstall a copy of vectorworks 12.5 that was lost because of a mac self destruct problem.. but we don't seem to have a note of the serial number, it's one of our older machines and was done before we kept records.

we still have the dongle though, is there a way to find out the serial number from the dongle?

You would probably need to call your distributor.

thank god, i found it..

but is there an answer?

I'm making a list of them all as we speak

The digits on the dongle refer to the last 6 digits of the serial number. So you can match the dongle to a serial number but cannot deduce the whole serial number from the dongle.

Unfortunately, the lettering on the dongle is all to easy to rub off.
