Upgrading to Professional from an Evaluation License

If you have purchased the full Designer with Renderworks version of Vectorworks and your trial has not expired, go to Part A. If your trial has expired or you purchased a different set of modules (such as Architect, Landmark, Spotlight and/or Renderworks) go to Part B.


A) If your trial has not yet expired...

During the 30-day Evaluation period, you may at any time decide to purchase Vectorworks. Upon doing this, you will be sent a new serial number, it will look similar to this:

E6XUSS-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-G01ABC

To enter this new serial number in your already installed copy of Vectorworks, go to Tools > Options > Vectorworks Preferences

Under the "Session" tab, choose "Serial Numbers"

Click the EVAL serial number and choose "Remove", afterwards choose "Add" and enter your new serial number. Press "Add" again when complete. You should see your new serial number and activated products listed to the right:

Restart Vectorworks, your copy will now be a professional and will no longer expire.


B) If your license of Vectorworks is not the complete Designer with Renderworks, please follow the instructions below...

You will have to uninstall Vectorworks completely and then reinstall with your new serial number:
