Bill-CollaborativeMT Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 When I try to open Vectorworks in front of a client I get this! Why does Vectorworks limit you to two installations of Vectorworks Architect? With an E license you can only use one at a time anyway. I have a desktop at work, a desktop at home, and a laptop that I travel with to give presentations. This really pisses me off about Vectorworks. My other software, FormZ, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD allow 3 installs. Why are you making my life more difficult with this stupid EULA Policy! I called support and they said there is nothing they can do.

E|FA Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I agree. You might have better luck getting this changed (eventually) by posting it as a wishlist request: https://forum.vectorworks.net/index.php?/forum/19-wishlist-feature-and-content-requests/ Edited March 24, 2020 by E|FA Quote Link to comment
unearthed Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 VW needs to get with the program - our daily work is changing NOW, today. VW needs to realise their users need flexibility TODAY. Millions of people who suddenly have to work from home. 1 Quote Link to comment
fabrica Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 agree, it should be unlimited installs , then a check-in and release option similar to what C4D / Maxon did for R21, so you can work from any computer. 1 Quote Link to comment
Administrator Popular Post JuanP Posted March 25, 2020 Administrator Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2020 @CollaborativeMT With Series E licenses, you may activate the software on two machines and only use Vectorworks on one at a time. If you plan on installing Vectorworks on a temporary computer, you will be granted a temporary activation to prevent any downtime (3 activations). With the ongoing and ever-changing developments related to the coronavirus (COVID-19), we wanted to increase the ease of transitioning to a remote or work-from-home environment. In order to help, we are temporarily increasing the number of activations of Vectorworks Series E licenses by one. We intend to make this additional flexibility available for the next 90 days, while we monitor the situation globally. If you are experiencing this issue, most likely you already used all the activations available, and no problem, please send me the last six digits of your serial # privately. I'll be happy to look into your issue. For additional information about working remotely and the changes we had make during this time, check the following article: 6 Quote Link to comment
