Timothy Metcalfe Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi, I’m looking into buying Vectorworks Architect but the version will depend on cost. I have a few questions: Is this transaction overseen by VW and legitimate? If I have the student version, which I assume will expire soon (I’ve just graduated), can I open the student VW2020 files on whichever earlier version of VW that I buy? Finally, once I’ve bought the software, will it expire or anything? Or is it a case of once I’ve bought it, I can use it infinitesimally? Thank you. 🙂 Tim Quote Link to comment
zoomer Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 1. No, you can't open VW Student Files with any commercial VW. But I think VW Supportcould help to convert them to real Files. 2. So far, VW has perpetual Licenses. You can use your outdated Version as long as you want. (or find hardware and OS which is able to run that Version) Quote Link to comment
E|FA Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 @Timothy Metcalfe License transfers are handled by VW. I'm attaching a copy of the form I was sent when I listed two VW Architect 2020 licenses for sale: You can reach me at info@eggfarkarch.com or through a direct message on this forum if you're interested.

The rep was in the US office, so I don't know what happens in other countries. However, he did tell me that the license is transferable to Mac or PC, worldwide. Quote Link to comment
