Unfortunately, I experienced a hard disk failure recently and despite having a backup could not retrieve the licence for my Solidworks .BobCAM
I first noted the change when it launched into Demo mode.

Fortunately the BobCAD representative had just gone to the trouble of contacting me to see if I was in the market for the V5. It is something may have considered. However, I asked him to help me with the original registration.

This was their reply to my request for help.

My name is John Kelly i am with Bobcad, I am sad to inform you that we no longer support V2 for SolidWorks so getting you those registration codes is impossible for me. What i can do for you is, Since you are not on supported software you qualify for a special we have going on. For only $850.00 USD i can get you upgraded to V5.

Originally I bought the BobCAM package on line and did not see any codes for it to run.

Very disappointed, very disillusioned with BobCAD, very suspicious of why the rep contacted me ??
