Default Anybody have BobCad V17?

All-
I use BobCad version 17 almost every day to draw and write programs
for the lathe. It runs on an XP machine that is dying. It will not run
on newer operating systems. I bought a brand new industrial fanless
computer that runs XP and need to install V17 on it.
Anyway, I misplaced my V17 disc and BobCad says they no longer can
supply me with one. If someone here has a disc I would pay for a copy.
I am licensed and all so it would not be theft. Especially since after
installing on a new machine I will need to get the authorization number
from BobCad.
Thanks,
Eric


I have V16. At least with that one, it is just ONE .exe file, and maybe
a font file. So, if the old machine still works, or even if the disk
works, you can get the file(s) off it and copy them over, and they should
work fine.

You can also run Bobcad on a virtual machine under either VMWare or
VirtualBox, it runs fine on them. (You will need to install a copy of XP
in the virtual machine.)
