None of the solutions Ive so far found online are Mac-specific, they're all Windows-based, The one | DID find on Macs had me go in to my hard drive and remove some registry(2] file(s}, but that didn’t work What happened was; | was happily working with the 2014 version, when Draftsight recommended | upgrade to 2015. | downloaded the 20015 version to my Mac Mini i7processor, 16G RAM, 1Tb Memory]. When the 30 day trial ran out, | tried to register / activate, but | never got the e-mail back with the activation code. Since then | have junked Draftsight 2014 and 2015 off my computer completely [i think..] and have gone thru reinstallation several tines, to no avail every time | close the software, | get the same dialog box when opening it again | go thru the registration process again and again without it seeming to remember me for next time to speed things up, ive discovered it doesn't seem to matter what e-mail address and details | put in, so long as its in a recognised e-mail address format [@@b.comi} Its also very slow and jerky when my mouse cursor isin the drafting windows but fast and smooth when its over the tool pallets - strange! Iwonder if there's something left on my computer from the last installation that hasn't gone and is stopping re- activation, Do you have any software that will completely remove Draftsight ‘Any help would be much appreciated - | was thinking of buying the Pro version, but Im worried that, too, may not work..1 Kind regards, David Howard June 20, 2015 at $:29 PM.
