Have to contact your dealer that is the only way to obtain them anymore.

How do you not have a reseller anymore? Someone sold you the software, right?

Gotta believe his reseller changed, not went away. Either way, this decision to take away the legacy downloads makes life a PITA. Disk space is cheap, and CNC Software still has X5 documentation available for download....but no downloads for the X5 MU's or anything. Doesn't the roadmap list X5 as still being supported? Many, Many users don't go ahead and put a new release as soon as its out. X7 had bugs many choose to wait out and continue using X6 till X7 MU1 came out. If they got a new puter during this time they had to jump through hoops, 1st checking if there was a download, then call their reseller, then wait a day or 3 to get a disk in the mail.

 

No 2 ways about it...this is a PITA and a xxxx poor decision. I now archive all my downloads for this reason.

The reason for this is a licensing/legal issue

caused when they switched providers for

the Verify engine

^^^this is one of the main reasons I always want to 'own' a hardcopy of software.
