I recently upgraded to DCAD19. Now, I want to upgrade to Windows 10. Are there any problems that I may encounter?
Thanks in advance.

Just make sure you have the latest Datacad patch installed. You also may encounter that Datacad needs to deactivated and reactivated after the upgrade. You can deactivate Datacad before the upgrade by closing all drawings and then going up to Datacad's Help menu, License Actions, Deactivate This Computer. Then after the Windows Upgrade, You activate Datacad on it's first run like normal.

See this post on using the website to deactivate a license if needed after the upgrade.

Mark M. Maybe a sticky post with the contents of your post above should be added to the How To Section?

no issues with dcad v19 or 20, but some other programs are not supported by Win 10. Siverlight comes to mind which some local authorities use for forms so I have keep Win7 on my oldest computer just for when I need to access that info.
