[solved] Pro Vers installation

Post by ChrisM » Tue Mar 02, 2021 10:19 pm

When I purchased QCAD I also paid for the Pro Version, the handbook PDF and the Thumb drive w/ pro-version.
I have the free version running.

QUESTION: How do I activate the Pro Version?

This is what I downloaded:

You can't convert a Trial into a Pro. Just de-install the trial and install instead the Pro.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

Running the Full Version of QCAD Professional

Please make sure that after downloading the full version, you also install the full version (not a previously downloaded trial version that still happens to be in your download folder). Please make sure that after installing the full version, you also run the full version (not a previously downloaded and installed trial version). If in doubt, uninstall all versions of QCAD and install the full version from scratch.


Accessing your Downloads

An e-mail was sent to you directly after purchase with a link to your download area where you can download the full version of the software and the e-book if applicable. The link is valid until one year after purchase. The e-mail also states until when the link stays valid.
No key or activation of any kind is required. The download link can also be used to download the software / e-book again and to download updates until one year after your purchase.

If you cannot find this e-mail, please look also in your Spam or Bulk mail folder.

The e-mail subject is "Order / Commande / Bestellung" + your order number. Please keep in mind that you might have used a different e-mail account when placing your order.

You can request your download link again through our website at:
https://qcad.org/recover-lost-download-link

Do not download the free QCAD packages from our public web site as these are trial versions that cannot be turned into full versions.

Windows 10 64bit
opps... not there yet. QCad Pro loads and works. It stays open indefinitely. There is no box on display that tells me I am running a trial version. However when I try to SAVE or SAVE AS the program shuts down with no message after about 5 seconds.

Please disable the use of the system file dialog under:
Edit > Application Preferences > File > Open/Save > Use system file dialog (uncheck)

QCAD will then use its own file dialogs instead of the one provided by the Windows system which seems to cause troubles on your installation.
