  • How can I create a new account?
    To become a member: Click on Log in Then, click Sign Up Then, choose the way you want to register Then, fill in the necessary information and complete the registration by confirming the email. If you have problems opening an account with your hotmail or Yahoo email. I recommend that you open an email from Gmail. Gmail works fine. Hotmail and Yahoo tend to hide messages that come from companies, sending them to junk mail, spam. Finally wait for the corresponding permissions to be granted to be able to access the restricted areas according to the license you have. This can take a while, as it is done manually. When it is carried out, you will receive notification (email) about it.
  • When creating the account, what can I do if the confirmation does not arrive?
    I recommend the following: Please check your spam folder. Patience , sometimes it doesn't happen instantly and you have to wait. Use a Google company email: gmail , this usually works well.

  • What PC is recommended to use with CAD type programs?
    Sometimes buying a cheap computeris not a good idea, especially if that PC will be your work tool. One thing I can add to this is (from personal experience) the more RAM (memory) the PC has the better. A good video card with OpenGL® support, and a good hard drive with fast access are also essential. Visit the following link: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-AutoCAD.html The link provided is an official Autodesk® page with a complete list of AutoCAD® versions with their respective list of requirements.
  • Mr.CAD Professional Does it work with other CAD's such as BricsCAD®, etc.?
    NO. At this time (March-20-2023) it only integrates with AutoCAD® FULL versions 2004 up to the most recent and CMS IntelliCAD® 10 and 11.
  • Are hacked programs good for using Mr.CAD?
    With the current state of the economy it is not easy to pay thousands of dollars for CAD software. That's why there are many who prefer pirated programs. But be careful! Most (if not all) contain viruses. Some of them can do a lot of harm to your privacy. These viruses work silently. When you realize it, it's because the damage has already been done. Remember that in our time there is nothing really free. When they say it's free, there's something hidden behind it. Especially when the offer seems very tempting or comes from a country that has a reputation for not respecting others. Before installing a pirated program, you should inspect it with a powerful antivirus. There are some "partly free" ones like AVG that you can use for testing purposes. You will realize that the risk is real. Recommendation: some CAD-type programs have the advantage of being able to use them during a grace period. Use it to raise funds and acquire your legal license to the program. Others, like Mr.CAD 360, have a free version that works with certain limitations, but they provide you with the opportunity to generate some income so that you can later purchase the full-power version.
  • Can I install on older versions of AutoCAD®?
    Yes, but not on all of them. Mr.CAD® can be installed on AutoCAD® versions from 2004 to the latest.
  • How can I check for updates manually?

  • What should I do if I failed to update my license in time, and now it is deactivated?
    Several communications had been sent by email and some social groups such as Facebook and LinkedIn to all Mr.CAD users, with specific instructions to update the program as soon as possible, since, as had been explained, the activation server and license control was going to stop working. Unfortunately some, for different reasons, failed to update on time. And as explained in the statement, this may cause a temporary interruption, in which the process of re-activating your licenses can be completed. Before you begin, I recommend that you see what the latest Mr.CAD Professional Upgrade offers. Then, if you wish, return here to continue. To begin the process, if you have not created an account on this MrCAD portal , you must make one (If you already have the account, skip to the next step).

    Steps: First, enter the product area. Then click on Mr.CAD Professional UPG. Proceed with the payment method of your preference. Upon purchase you will receive instructions to download the product, and instructions for installation and activation.
  • Is it necessary to have the previous program installed for the update?
    No. When you buy the new version, you receive a complete program. It does not require any disk, HASP key or component of the previous program. It is recommended that if you have a previous version of the program installed, remove it to perform a clean installation of the new version.
  • I lost the HASP key, can I upgrade?
    Yes. All that is required is that you be a registered customer. If you did not register, you will need to send us proof of purchase. When you buy the new version, you receive a complete program. It does not require any disk, HASP key, any component of the above program.
  • Has the program not been updated for a long time?
    If you have tried to do a Check for Updates, and it turns out that it has been several days or months since you have done any update, and the program reports that you are using the most recent version, in which case, you must enter the members area and download (from said area) the new version. What has already been explained could happen because several months ago (between January and March 2023), an error was introduced in the update verification system, which failed to compare the current version with the server version. As a result, the verifier reports that you already have the latest version. The only way to overcome this barrier is by updating by downloading the members area.

However, many benefits are obtained by making the change, since several things that impact the production of the program have already been corrected. IMPORTANT : You must submit a Removal code for each license you have activated for the old version. The new Activation key will not be sent until you have sent us all Removal codes corresponding to all activations saved in the registry. Don't worry, you have 15 days in which you can continue using the new program without proper activation.

    Yes, you can install it on as many computers as you need. However, each installation requires an activation, and the number of activations is limited to three for each serial number. If your circumstances require more licenses, you can obtain them through our website.
  • In what sense is each serial number special?
    A serial number is provided for each license, and is unique to each customer. The customer is responsible for keeping the serial number in a safe and private place. The serial number identifies your license as a unique license. This is why it is very important that you save that number. Losing it is like losing a diamond ring; is irreplaceable.
  • Does my serial number work with the new versions?
    Version 9 requires a new serial number. If you purchased the upgrade< /u> and you have not received any mail with the new number, contact me to verify records.
  • Where can I get my serial number?
    As answered in the question: In what way are the serial number and activation code something special?, Customer is responsible for keeping serial number in a safe and private place< span style="color: #444444;">. [...] This is why it is very important that you save said number.

  • Mr.CAD® Can be installed on Mac® or Linux® PC?
    No, at this time it is not possible. It is only compatible with Microsoft Windows®.
  • Where can I find the Activation Key?
    The activation key is available in your InGeomatics.com account details. The following boxes are shown in it: The Activation key boxes #1 - #3 are the activations for version 10 of Mr.CAD Professional . If you recently (a couple of days ago) purchased a license for this product, and these boxes are empty, remember that the activation key is produced (manually) on business days (MF). But if you notice that it has been more than a week and the key does not appear, in that case, you should contact me using the Contact page. The v.7: serial, v.8: serial, etc. boxes are for older versions. The format is: version: serialnumber, version, serialnumber. For example: v.7: 0000-ADCD-0000-ABDC-0000 , v.8: 1111-ADCD-1111-ABDC-1111 , represents version 7 with serial number 0000-ADCD-0000-ABDC-0000, followed by another for version 8 with serial number 1111-ADCD-1111-ABDC-1111. It is important to note that in previous versions activations were produced by a server (now discontinued), and were generated from the serial number. In modern versions the serial number is not required, and the activation is provided after purchase. If you currently have a license for a version prior to version 10 of Mr.CAD Professional , it is recommended that you upgrade: Likewise, if you have an older version of Mr.CAD 360, it is good to upgrade to the latest version:
  • How can I activate the program?
    To activate Mr.CAD , you can see the instructions in the installation manual, the topic: How to activate the program . This manual is available for download at: https://www.mrcad.net/file-share/81895209-f046-4ca0-bf84-f70113c4d60f Also, there is a video that describes the installation and activation of the program. You can see this at: https://www.mrcad.net/account/priv-instalacion
  • Can I activate the program on more than one computer?
    Yes. The new version of Mr.CAD allows you to activate up to three (3) different computers.
  • How do I know if my license is activated?
    In modern versions, when the program is activated, it stops asking for the activation key. In previous versions: Steps to Mr.CAD Professional : Open Mr.CAD PRO. Click on the yellow key. If the blue box says LICENSED, it is activated. Steps for Mr.CAD 360 : Open Mr.CAD 360. Open a drawing, preferably a new one. Click on files. See round icon with M in the center. Click on Activation. The yellow key. If the blue box says LICENSED, it is activated.
  • Can I share activations with my friends?
    No . The purpose of providing three activations is for personal or company use. Allowed examples: Use the activations on your laptop, at the office, and at home. Hire several people to help you with a project and therefore need to (temporarily) activate the program on those PCs. A company with three draftsmen needs to activate the program on three computers belonging to the company. Examples of prohibited uses: Activate one on your PC and share the others with my friends. Share the program with others for a fee.
  • In a company that has several licenses, who can make the activation request?
    When a company has multiple employees using the program, someone is required to be in charge of requesting activations for the computers. This person's name must be on the record. When that doesn't happen, only activations are granted to the license owner .
  • How can I get additional activations?
    Buying more licenses. Each additional license will have more activations.
  • What happens if I uninstall the program and forget to remove the license?
    Uninstalling the program from the computer does not remove its activation. If you try to activate a new installation of the program without removing the activation from the previous computer, and it turns out that there are no activations left, you will not be able to activate that installation. It will be necessary to use the procedure described below to release said activation. Procedure to release an activation: If the PC is damaged, replace the broken part with a new one and reinstall all required software. If you had uninstalled Mr.CAD, reinstall the program. Verify that the computer has an Internet connection. This connection is required for this process. Open our product and in the activation window, click "Remove license". Click "Continue>>, and follow the instructions on the screen. Wait a few seconds. And if everything is correct, your license will be released. Now if you like, uninstall Mr.CAD. You can now use this activation on the other computer.
  • What happens in case of total loss of the computer?
    In the event of total loss of the computer as a result of theft, fire, or any other similar incident, a replacement license will be issued if (1) your lost license is registered and is a updated version, (2) if an official document describing the incident is provided. If your registered version IS NOT the current version, in addition to the requirements described above, a program update will be required. More details in the Technical Support Agreement
  • Can I activate the program for a temporary helper who will work remotely?
    This procedure is allowed, but has its risks. Before proceeding to provide one of your activations to another person outside your domains, keep in mind that you are risking losing said activation. If the person to whom you are lending one of your activations refuses to deactivate the program , or for other reasons loses the activation, the loss is assumed by the owner of the license. This means that the three activations granted for each serial number will be subtracted from the lost activation. For process details, see the installation manual. You can download this from: https://www.mrcad.net/file-share/81895209-f046-4ca0-bf84-f70113c4d60f Note : No special access is being granted to people who do not own a Mr.CAD license. However, the owner can provide the new user with their credentials so that they can access the MrCAD.net account. However, please note that this may add risks to your privacy. Any result of the decision made by the owner remains his/her total responsibility.
  • How can I transfer the activation to another computer?
    To move a license to another computer: First, deactivate your license on the old computer. To do this, do the following: Verify that the PC that has the active license has an Internet connection. Open the Windows menu, and from the list of all programs choose Mr.CAD PRO and then click on Transfer . In the Transfer Out License window put the activation key, and click the Deactivate button. Once the license is deactivated, you can reactivate it on another computer.
  • What does it mean that the license is "perpetual"?
    At one time, the license was promoted as "perpetual." This term can be confusing to some, and so this term was replaced by "conventional" license . This licensing model means that if for any reason you do not renew your maintenance contract at the end of the term, your current version of Mr.CAD® Professional will continue to work as long as your PC or operating system supports it . Although you will no longer have access to the activation benefits, nor to extended technical support, you will still be able to rely on the help published in our help center at ingeomatics.com. If you wish to return to the maintenance plan and upgrade your licenses to the latest version, simply visit our product page and purchase the appropriate upgrade, along with a new maintenance plan. The above does not apply to Mr.CAD 360 1Y , as the license model is subscription .
  • Where can I find help when the antivirus is interfering with Mr.CAD?
    Mr.CAD Professional: http:/ /prohelp.mrcad.info/topics/idh-topic1280.htm Mr.CAD 360: http:/ /sahelp.mrcad.info/topics/idh-topic1280.htm
  • Why do antivirus report that the installer contains trojan virus?
    Mr.CAD uses an anti-hacking protection system. One of the main purposes of protection systems is: to make it difficult for the application to be analyzed, rolled back and decrypted. Malware (virus) creators also often use protection systems to protect viruses and make them more difficult to scan. Therefore, antivirus software vendors sometimes incorrectly detect viruses in any protected files. Heuristic and generic scanners in antivirus software can often fail, because they are bots and automatic bot detections cannot give us a 100% result. just because of a mistake by antivirus software engineers, they can incorrectly scan and detect viruses in a protected file. Sometimes some antivirus programs get confused and produce what is commonly called a false positive. Why does this false positive occur? There may be several reasons, but let me explain at least two of the main ones: Antivirus programs use a new on-chain modality, where they analyze the age (maturity) and the use of the programs. In this way they know if a program is widely known, and the degree of maturity (if it has been on the market for a long time or a short time). So according to this analysis model, if a program is relatively new, it is a program with a higher risk of viruses than one that has not changed for a long time. Since Mr.CAD is a program that is constantly undergoing revisions and updates, the installer file does not have the necessary maturity to be considered safe. Some antiviruses, when they are not sure of the analysis of the file (because they do not have the necessary maturity or fame), mark the analyzed file as dangerous. Not because they found something, but rather as a precaution. Mr.CAD's anti-hacking security system does a type of encryption that is not known by some antiviruses. Thus causing distrust in the installer, and therefore they mark it as dangerous, since they cannot decrypt the content. Is there a way to stop the false detection? Yeah sure, there is a way to avoid false detection. If a false detection appears, you should send a sample of the file to the antivirus research team, and ask them to fix the problem. Usually specialists respond quickly and are happy to help solve the problem. In our experience, if you send a sample file today, tomorrow's antivirus software database will be clean. More information at: False positive from an antivirus: its dangers and how to avoid them (softzone.es)
  • What antivirus is compatible with Mr.CAD?
    Antiviruses are NOT compatibles with Mr.CAD's security and protection features, and can cause many problems. It will always be necessary to configure the antivirus by adding an exclusion to the program folder. You should see, in the instructions of your antivirus, how to add said exclusion.
