Cadworx v14 win7 to win10 - 10/28/21 09:11 AM

I haven't been to this forum in years. My current system runs Win7 Pro 64bit. I'm running Cadworxv14/ACAD2015. IT says Monday all cpu's need to upgrade to win10.

Had anyone have/had a history on what may happen to a existing Cadworx with a win10 upgrade?

regards,
Richard

I still use CW 2017 on AutoCAD 2017 and Win 10. Works OK. If AutoCAD 2015 works on Win10 , I think CW will work too.

Are you looking at an in-place upgrade of the OS rather than a full reinstall? You might find problems with some licensing. I don't *think* you'll see problems if you're using a network/red HASP key (they were awesomely stable), but it's more likely if you're running a local/green USB lock or an older version of the SPLM.

Same with the AutoCAD license. If it's a legacy stand-alone, keep your Autodesk reseller on standby as there might be extra steps in getting the license re-issued if there's a problem. Probably a good time to review your AutoCAD upgrade procedures, as serious problems might force the issue on you.
