JohnW Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I was too keen to download and play with Loopcad and unfortunately my 30 day trial has expired before I could finalise our ground floor plan. Has anyone any idea how I could extend the trial by a week or 2? Here's my latest effort at the layout design - all feedback welcome, but be gentle!

Gone West Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 With similar software agreements I have started a new trial period under a different name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Can you get another free trial loaded on another computer? Or see if you can open the file in another, properly free, CAD package. Or set the PC clock back a month, it used to work in the olden days when we were all honest. Edited April 18, 2018 by SteamyTea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Install it on another device as it seems to recognise either IP or MAC addresses when you re-register. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnW Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Thanks you all for the suggestions - looks like I need to find another PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Fire up a virtual machine - VirtualBox is a free VM host. You could get away with an unregistered install of Win 7 or 10 to finish off your drawings. I played with LoopCAD over a period of some months by snapshotting a clean Win 7 VM prior to installing and then rolling back each time it expired. (Just remember to keep your saved files somewhere else!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
