Polina Bouli Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Hi! I tried to renew my student license, but it doesn't work. Specifically, each time I had completed installment, a window pops up saying that "Vectorworks cannot be activated because your software license has expired", although I installed the renewed student license. I have provided my proof of enrollment as well. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. Any suggestions how to deal with this issue? Many thanks Quote Link to comment

Tommi Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 @JimW Hi Jim, I tried renewing my student license, before the software expired. I sent a request for an extension a couple of weeks before it actually expired thinking when the expiration date arrived it would automatically extend but alas that did not happen and it expired on me. Well, nowI have sent another extension request, so i just wanted to know how long it takes to approve or how long ill have to wait for my VW to startup again. cheers Quote Link to comment

JessicalucyS Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hi, I am also getting this pop-up however when I login to Vectorworks online there are no issues with my account. Not sure if I have to request an extension on the license, and if so, how do I do this? Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment

Jory Meyers Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hello @JimW it's me, another person having the same problem, but with an additional question. Does the extension give you access to the latest VW iteration, or does it confine you to the year which you received the software, which in my case was 2016? Quote Link to comment

If you submit an extension, you keep the same version. You should see a Download section on your student portal where you can choose the latest version. Quote Link to comment
