During installation you are typically required to enter the serial number, which is provided with the Vectorworks software. If you are not prompted to enter the serial number during installation, you must enter it the first time the program is accessed. You may also need to update a serial number to enable more products or to switch from an evaluation version to a full version.
To add a serial number:
1. Open the Vectorworks program.
The Serial Numbers dialog box opens the first time the program is accessed. Thereafter, it is accessed by clicking Serial Numbers from the Session tab of Vectorworks preferences.
2. Click Add.
The Add New Serial Number dialog box opens.
3. Enter the serial number exactly as it appears on the label. The serial number is case sensitive. The letters o and i are not used in serial numbers; enter zero or one instead.
4. Click Add.
The list of Enabled Products in the Serial Numbers dialog box displays all products enabled by this serial number. For security, serial numbers that begin with the letter A are partially hidden wherever they display in Vectorworks.
5. Only one serial number can be applied at a time. When the serial number is set, click Done.
To remove a serial number:
1. Click Serial Numbers from the Session tab of Vectorworks preferences.
The Serial Numbers dialog box opens.
2. Select the serial number to remove, and then click Remove.
3. Click Done.
