Hi,

I upgraded to OS X 10.10 yesterday and when I opened the ViaCAD9 it is giving me an error 209, Fingerprint Mismatch. When I press next it ask me to put activation code. I put the activation code I received when I purchased the software on 4-Oct-2014. On top of the activation code field it gives some type of code also and ask to contact support. I uninstalled and installed the software also, using the backup DVD I got, but was getting the same error. Anybody else has the same problem?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Mohit

Hello Tim,

I'm having a similar problem after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10. I'm using Shark Fx V7 (926?) & after upgrading I needed to get a new authorisation code which I'm used to ... every time I do a upgrade of my computer.
BUT I turned on the computer to the shark & I need to get a new code again ... every time I start the computer I need to get a new code. I'm sure from past experience that I can do this a limited number of times.

In the past I have called punch CAD, which isn't a small thing as I'm in australia, now if you don't get someone straight away, they don't have you wait in a queue, they hang up on you. I don't know how i can get any help.

regards,

Leon Prucha

Hi Leon
It may be you've exceeded activations. Private mail me your serial number and I'll send you a new Shark FX code.

I have been running the Yosemite beta for a few months now and every time there was an update, I had to request an activation code to get both ViaCad 2D/3D v8 and v9 to work again. Luckily, I received the code the same day. I was told to de-activate the software before updating, but there is no de-activation in the menu.

I just mention this to give you more information if you are trying to solve this issue for the long term.

Hi all,
I'm new to ViaCad v9, I bought from the Apple (Mac) App Store . I'm wondering if it's safe to move on to 10.10 or should I wait for an update ? It would be bad to loose the software right now. I guess the licensing of software from the App store is probably handled differently and I hope Apple got it right. Did anyone update system already ?
thx gruenix

It would be helpful to be able to manage a software license(s).

On the Mac side, I was not able to find:
1. Transfer License (off of one of my computers), but not delete it.
2. Transfer to a different computer.
These 2 features would make the license issue less of an "issue".

Thanks!

Hi
I've encountered the same problem (fingerprint error) for Viacad Pro9 on OSX 10.9.5.
Every time i start the program it gives me a new request number…i cannot stay with this window open for 24H …waiting for a new serial!

I tried to send you a request via the link you provided, but, because i'm out of USA (France exactly) i can give a phone number…so i can't send you the email.

Hopefully my Viacad Pro 8 is still working…but i need to work with the 9 version that i bought this summer !

Thanks for answering

Hi Diego

I'm sorry but I cannot fix the issue myself. You will need to use the link as I do not have access to the registration system. Encore applies it after EvoSoft provides the software.

http://support.encore.co...frm.aspx?product_id=2820

Copy the request code and close your window. You do not need to keep it open until you receive the activation from Encore.

Kind Regards

Tim

well, after 1 week, i received nothing from ViaCad/Punch support…No new serial, no email…nothing.

I'm living in France, so my phone number doesn't match your support request form, this could be a problem.

I need a new serial to make my software work.
I bought it and it has to work !

I wait for your answer.
Thanks
