[Sammy kewish]

Hi there, 

I am trying to download an educational licence of Vector works 2021 and am having trouble with my installer. It will not accept the serial number I received. Is there anything you suggest i try and do to resolve this?

 

Thankyou

@Sammy kewish Please make sure you are using the correct serial# for the 2021 version. The first 3 digits start with EGX and here are the installer for the 2021 version:

 

Vectorworks 2021:

Mac
https://release.vectorworks.net/latest/Vectorworks/2021-NNA-eng-mac

Win
https://release.vectorworks.net/latest/Vectorworks/2021-NNA-eng-win

 

I hope this helps.

Hi.

I`m trying to install VectorWorks Educational License version 2020 but it didn't work. I´ve already downloaded three times the software but when I type de key always shows the same "Invalid Serial Number".

Can you help me.

licence key : EEXRQU-...

@Jair The license key EEXRQU... is for the 2019 version. Please go to the https://student.myvectorworks.net log in with your student credentials and request the 2020 and/or 2021 version.  If you still have issues, let me know.

I have downloaded the 2021 version to extend my educational license but was only given my old serial number which is not being accepted.

How can I get my new number?

 

Thanks

I have a question along those lines outlined above. I teach VW as part of my set design course and over the past couple of years used VW2022, which is great. I have however heard of a few interesting changes, that came in with the 2024 version, via Jonathan Reeves' tutorials on Youtube. I wanted to try them out. They relate to the subdivision tool and sound useful. I downloaded the 2024 version but cannot seem to use my serial number from this year. Can a serial number only be used for one version and the uses has to stick to that version for the rest of the year. If that is the case, does this mean, I have to wait until when my year has elapsed and then change to 2024, also entailing I loose access to the 2022 version? Is that how it works? I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I think this didn't used to be this way as I remember using two versions simultenously and discussing with my students the improvements in the new version. Many thanks for any help.

Licenses (at least commercial, not positive about educational) are valid for the version available when issued and previous versions.

 

So if your license is only for 2022, I am not surprised it does not activate 2024.

 

Contact the Vectorworks Educational group and they should be able to get you a 2025 license that will also allow you to run the 2024 and 2022 versions.

 

But you have to contact VW directly. No one on this forum is going to be able to help.
