DraftSight 2017 After Activation No More Nothing

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.

 

"May the dark side be with you... "

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

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
