Note 2024+: app size 3x in just a few years. Idk what they did, but the installed app 2024 is now 11GB. Portable cannot be magically small, the program is fully functional with all features. I compressed the best I could, and optimized part size for your convenience, but it is still many parts, sorry, no way around that. Just be a bit patient, and you get a great app in the end.

How to open a file on a legal Vectorworks Version:
1. Drag the VWX-File on your editor/notepad. The first line will show the last 8 letters of your serial numer.
2. Replace them by XXXX-XXXX or any other
3. Save the file
4. You should be able the open the file in a legal version again, otherwise paste the information from a legal file. Vectorworks checks if the file was opened with a student/cracked version and will not continue to open it.
5. Enjoy!
Interesting, thanks for the info
