[solved] Trial version to purchased version

Post by mbcarpenter » Tue Jan 31, 2023 6:27 pm

Running Mac OS High Sierra version 10.13.6
Qcad/cam version 3.27.8.0
Need directions (not the best with computers but learning) I downloaded the trail version a couple weeks ago and purchased Qcad on 1-28-23. I thought I had installed it correctly but after I save a drawing I’ve been working on and reopen it it says it’s the trail version and wants me to delete some file. How do I delete those files and will this stop from running a few minutes and telling me it closing down and I need to restart?
Thanks in advance
Mike

After your purchase of QCAD/CAM, an e-mail was sent to you with a download link. Use this link to download the full version of QCAD/CAM. After downloading the full version of QCAD/CAM, you also need to install the full version of QCAD/CAM to replace the trial version.

For more details, please refer also to our web site at:

Only the by download link provided QCAD version will install a Professional version. All online available download links are Trial and/or Community versions.
To recover a lost download link please refer to this website:
