Locating Your Vectorworks Serial Number
Finding your Vectorworks serial number is essential for software activation and support. Below are detailed steps to help you locate the serial number for your Vectorworks installation.
Step 1: Check Your Email for Purchase Confirmation
Typically, when you purchase Vectorworks, the company sends a confirmation email containing your serial number. To find this email:
– Open your email client or web browser.
– Search for emails from Vectorworks or keywords like “Vectorworks license” or “serial number.”
– Open the email and look for your serial number; it should be prominently displayed.
Step 2: Access Vectorworks via the Application
If you have the software installed on your computer, you can find the serial number within the application:
1. Launch the Vectorworks software on your computer.
2. Navigate to the ‘Help’ menu found in the top menu bar.
3. Select ‘About Vectorworks’ from the dropdown list.
4. A window will pop up showing the software version and your serial number located at the bottom of this window.
Step 3: Visit Vectorworks Account Portal
You can also retrieve your serial number from your online account if you registered your software purchase.
1. Go to the official Vectorworks website.
2. Click on the login option at the top right corner and sign in with your account credentials.
3. Once logged in, navigate to the ‘My Account’ or ‘Licenses’ section.
4. Here, you should see all the details regarding your purchases, including your serial number listed next to the Vectorworks product.
Step 4: Check the Software Packaging
If you have a physical copy of the software, the serial number could be printed on the packaging or included with the installation documentation. Here’s how to check:
– Look for any inserts or manuals that came with the software.
– Check the inside cover of the CD case or the back of the packaging; often, the serial number will be printed clearly.
Step 5: Contact Vectorworks Support
If you have exhausted all avenues and still cannot find your serial number, you may need to reach out for assistance from Vectorworks support:
1. Navigate to the Vectorworks support page on their official website.
