Program Activation

There's no separate download for the paid version. Just download the free version of ProfiCAD and enter your license key to unlock all premium features.

How to activate ProfiCAD

  1. Launch ProfiCAD.
  2. Go to Help in the top menu and select Activate.
  3. Enter the license key you received after purchasing the program. Keep your license key safe.
  4. After activation, a file called "key.dat" will be created in C:\Program Files (x86)\ProfiCAD. Back up this file. Ideally, back up the entire C:\Program Files (x86)\ProfiCAD directory.

Activating on a new computer

If your original computer is lost or broken, you have two options:

  1. Restore from backup: If you backed up the C:\Program Files (x86)\ProfiCAD directory (as described above), restore it on the new computer. This method does not require internet access.
  2. Re-enter your license key: If you don't have a backup, activate the program by entering your license key again.

Activating on a USB flash drive

  1. Copy the file "key.dat" from C:\Program Files (x86)\ProfiCAD to your USB flash drive.
  2. Make sure "key.dat" is in the same directory on the flash drive as ProfiCAD.exe.
