Draftsight Installation/Registration Problem – Windows 10

Hello, I would like to install the draftsight software, I took the latest version on the site, the installation is good, when registering everything is ok I have the email, but when opening the program closes suddenly, even before opening and during the next launch I have to register again. On other computers no problem.

The only major difference is the versions of Windows 10 on the pc in question, it is in 1809 versions. I also noticed on the registry side the loss of registration information. 

A solution? On W10 in version 1803 no problem.

Hello

This is obviously a recurring problem on Draftsight and there are already a number of threads that deal with this subject, already look at HERE and also LA to start with.

Kind regards

And well a big thank you, I had done a lot of topics and one of the proposals I hadn't made has just worked! So I'm putting the solution back for others if needed (you have to follow the procedure carefully, especially when you don't click on the activation link right away.) But the solution has no logic, really. But at least I'm rid of the problem!

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!
