Hi all
I am up this post because it has been a while since I had used Draftsight, but today I find myself stuck with the same symptoms as MaD.
Has a solution been found?
Thank you.
Have a nice day

I've been fighting for 1 hour, I'm looking everywhere for the solution too.
I have Drafsight 2017 SP2, I saw that normally it was not affected by the bug that required the critical hotfix.
I reinstalled drafsight, I cleaned up the roaming folders.
Draftsight opens and I can't open a file from there, nor can I save a poor line. He gives an error
Hello
I have the same problem on a 64bits win7 PC with DraftSight 2017 SP2, I fill in the email address for activation, I click on OK, a window opens and closes immediately.
But I never receive an email so it's impossible to use the software...
If anyone has a solution?
I tried everything: reinstall/clean the registry/clean the PC, update ....
Hello
By trying as on http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/solidworks/drafsight#answer-748508 and with perseverance, after a while it seems to work.
Or should we stop using this miserable software......
Kind regards

After 10 attempts and reinstallations, I put USA Florida instead of France during the activation, it worked the first time the email arrived directly

Hello
I put Florida too... it still doesn't work and my computer lags to death ... I tried everything... except to fiddle with the proxies because I'm not a lightning bolt in computer science.. I installed draft sight SP3, I even tried to install the patches, I went to uninstall my 2010 license I removed my anti virus .. I'm fed up ... it bugged after a Window 10 update ....

I'm facing the same problem (windows 7), because I have to reactivate it annually...
it's really problematic...
I re-installed the 2017 SP3, but nothing works.
I've tried other countries, and Florida too, but nothing works, I don't get an email.
I also meet this pb on many positions...
The PB is totally random... I got the pb on a freshly reinstalled machine.
I also tested without antivirus, shunting the firewalls in doubt... nothing to do.
Also tested the removal of SWActivation key and Dassault folder in program files... ect ect
And all of a sudden, it passes without knowing why....
I'm going to try to find an alternative to Draftsight because it's getting painful...
If you have a software to offer me by the way, I'm interested.
I had a similar problem this morning (on Win10 up to date).
Draftsight asks me to reactivate the software (free version) by filling out the form that appears on the screen. Once this form has been validated, no reactivation email is received.
As I have the same problem with Office365, I disabled my antivirus while I filled out the form, validated it, received the email and clicked on the link to reactivate Draftsight.
Then the antivirus was restarted and Draftsight was launched , which was perfectly functional.

Hello
I'm new to the forum and have the same concern as all of you.
I have a new PC running Windows 10. I installed Draftsight 2017, successful installation but no way to activate: lafen^tre opens then nothing
I don't have an antivirus (impossible to install Kaspersky)
I used to browse with the ancestor Windows XP with which I had no problem (except when they updated draftsight.........)
Have you since found the solution to the problem?
Other colleagues are on Windows 8 and have no problems......
thank you in advance

After several unsuccessful re-attempts,
I finally succeeded, for this I went to check the Windows Firewall (Win7) and I added Draftsight.exe
And now I work in "Aerospace" and I'm from "Afghanistan"... Laughing out loud
By the way, before doing this, I noticed that the process, during an activation attempt, goes from 300,000 KB to more than 5,100,000 KB!!
And upon successful activation, it did the same.

Hi all
I just followed this discussion, following a problem with the activation of Draftsight.
Like you, following a recent update of Windaube 10, it is impossible to use Draftsight 2017SP2 which worked well until now.
I went to the official website, and I downloaded the latest SP3 version released recently, but again, after installing, I couldn't activate it. As you do, the software launches, asks for all the email address bazzar, and then closes, without saying thank you or goodbye... Of course, no answer on the address indicated.
After following this thread, I deactivated my Avast antivirus, filled in the email address and others, indicating "Andorra" instead of "France" (you never know), and there it went like a letter in the post office (when it's not on strike) with a nice message of explanation. I received an activation email within 20s and here we go again...!
Hoping that this experience can serve you. Have a good day everyone.

Hi all
So I'm on windows 10 - 64 bit. I had the same problem as everyone else when activating. Problem that I solved simply by launching the installation and then the activation in safe mode with network support.
Only since then it's been dragging to death on the software. I can't find any solution to this problem, which wastes precious time; So if anyone has a solution I'm interested.
Thank you and good luck
Hello I had the same problem with all my email addresses in .fr.
I tried with a .com address and country Canada and it worked like a letter in the mail !!
Hello.
I managed to activate by opening my box on my mobile phone when it didn't appear on my computer
*Standalone license. Activation required.
Activation of the free version of DraftSight for Windows is required, as well as an Internet connection,
to use DraftSight Professional. No minimum is required
Mark in full
If no internet connection no Draftsight free

Hello
I tried with two .fr addresses and it doesn't work.
I used an address in .com and it worked straight away.

As explained in a post not too long ago
http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/draftsight/draftsight-ne-sactive-pas-et-ne-d%C3%A9marre-pas
A solution that we implemented at the beginning of the week for two new positions with us:
After installation:
=> Delete the SWActivation\K2 registry key in the Registry Editor (Regedit)
[Open the registry editor, go to the Folder HKEY_USERS press CTRL + F and in the field search for "SWActivation"
=> Add "https://www.3ds.com" in trusted sites
[Internet Option> Security > Trusted Sites]
=> Launch DraftSight normally the activation window should launch, fill in the fields.
=> Wait to receive the email... Once received, do not click on the link in the email...
=> Relaunch Draftsight, a new dialog box should appear, explaining that an email has been sent and asking if you should resend one => Click NO
=> Open the received email and activate DraftSight
=> Relaunch DraftSight
=> Enjoy!
EDIT: I hadn't paid attention to the date of the message. I think he must have found his answer by now.
Personally, I'm going to look for another software
