        • This is the installer, it allows you to install the whole program with the latest update, vectorworks do not rls full installers anymore you have to go via the install manager which is what this is.

  1. My apologies for the earlier comments!

    It is a full version and it works perfect, thank you for this fantastic upload!!

  2. I need help! I can only get “Fundamentals” I can’t use the Spotlight features, can someone help me?

  3. it asks for ldf file during startup, all steps done according to description in file zmco.nfo
    here is the text from License validation failed:

    Your current license information is:
    license: US-Z11CP
    serial number: EZTUSS-XXXXXX-XXXXXXX-Z11TCP

  4. was able to install, but unable to work with architect/BIM tools. Not alowed on product license, it says. Also Layers and Classes Pallets, essencial to work, unable to display.
    I must say I installed via Parallels on my mac m2 studio on updated win 11 pro vm, even thow I believe thats not the problem.
    very apreciated for the ongoing work. and past releases.
    I would love a mac version older than 2022 sp3
    thanks a lot

    • Sorry. it was not on parallels but on vmware fusion desktop.
      I believe it has to do with a warning on chosen instalation path that says:
      “Not able to retrieve information from location path. not recomended to instal on that location.” I installed anyway. Maybe because of that it does work properly.
      In Parallels it worked. But only when instaled on predefined path: c:/programfiles/Vectorworks 2025. If changed, license doesn’t work. So it seems.

      • You saved my life ! I change the name of the folder and it works !
        In French
        And this time with Spotlight !

        • Hello I have tried installing both 2024 and 2025 versions, both doesn’t authorize Spotlight tools, while the same actual serial key works on 2023 version unlocking Spotlight and braceworks. How did you manage to make Spotlight tools available?

  5. hi, it doesn’t work for me, when I try to create a wall it says “this tools is not authorized for use in this product”

  6. Do anyone have a solution for “This tools is not authorized for use in this product’? It would be very kind to help. Thank you

  7. Try using the file .lic from previous versions that worked, the rest (crack) from here…

  8. This version no longer works, because the installer installs Update 4. Can you get Update 4?

    • same issue for me. I launched the download manager to uninstall, and there was an option to revert to an older version. I choosed version 3, and now it works

      • …I can launch it, but it’s not fully fonctional (spotlight and other options don’t work)

  9. hi all, I installed the software, but I don’t have spotlight working, any suggestions? (I also tried with an old ldf)

  10. For solving spotlight license error I did the following:

    – Entered the program and got a “this tool is not licensed” error
    – Quit
    – Renamed Program Files/Vectorworks 2025 folder into something else
    – Entered the app again, got a popup asking for my license file
    – Selected the license file from the install process again, it turns another error
    – Quit
    – Renamed “Program Files/whatever” back into “Program Files/Vectorworks 2025”
    – Entered the program and it works fine somehow

    Some of these steps are probably not necessary but this worked for me… good luck
