Activating DraftSight 2017: A Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Launch the Application
Begin by opening the DraftSight software on your computer. If it’s not installed yet, ensure you download it first from the official DraftSight website and complete the installation process.
Step 2: Navigate to Activation Settings
Once DraftSight is running, look at the top right corner of the interface. There, you will see a question mark icon or the word “Help.” Click on this icon to reveal a dropdown menu.
Step 3: Initiate the Activation Process
From the dropdown options, select “Activate DraftSight.” This will take you to the activation window where you can proceed with entering your product key or serial number.
Step 4: Enter Your License Information
Prepare your license details for input. If you purchased DraftSight, the serial number would have been provided to you via email or receipt during your purchase. Carefully enter this number in the designated field in the activation window. Ensure that no characters are missed and that the number is entered exactly as provided.
Step 5: Complete Activation
After entering the serial number, click on the “Activate” button. DraftSight will process your request and verify your license. If you entered the information accurately, the software will confirm that your activation was successful, allowing you to access all features.
Step 6: Troubleshooting Activation Issues
If the activation fails for any reason, revisit the entered serial number to double-check for any mistakes. Additionally, ensure your internet connection is stable, as link issues might disrupt the verification process. In some cases, running the application as an administrator can resolve permission-related issues during activation.
