To be honest.I made the jump from 2016 to 2017 and it was pretty much a waste of money.nothing in 2018 seemed too compelling this year to begin with and I really didn't appreciate their aggressive nature so I declined. The tone was pretty much 'Your service select account is expired we need $800 (or some seemingly high dollar amount) give us your credit card right now or it won't renew'.

When I purchased 2017 I got 'Service Select' provided with the purchase as part of a bundle deal of somesort.Īnyways I got a call from Vectorworks a few months ago and they were super aggressive with me about renewing. Then click License.I got a new computer and wanted to install my Vectorworks 2017 license on it. To view the license agreement, on Windows, select Help > About Vectorworks, or on Mac select Vectorworks > About Vectorworks. The entire Design Series product line is available and the workspace can be changed in the Tools > Workspaces menu regardless of how the question is answered.

For instance, if lighting design is selected as the primary use, the Spotlight workspace opens. This is so that the most relevant default workspace displays on product launch. Student and evaluation versions of Vectorworks products include an additional step at installation: selection of an area of design that best describes the kind of work to be done. These backups are invaluable in restoring user-customized settings that may be potentially lost by computer failure. The Vectorworks application should be backed up on a regular basis. Your software license allows for one copy to be made for backup purposes. If you opt not to download this material when you install Vectorworks, it can be added later (see Installing Vectorworks Libraries Locally).

The installation process includes an option to add material to your copy of Vectorworks products, including industry-specific content libraries that can be added to drawings through the Resource Manager (see Concept: Resource Libraries).

The installation program installs the entire Vectorworks series of programs, and determines which products to allow access to based on the serial number. To ensure a smooth installation, confirm that system requirements are met and take note of any issues or incompatibilities prior to installing the software. The Vectorworks installation program lists the installation system requirements, any known installation issues, and any information that changed in the software after final online help was produced.
