When I purchased QCAD I also paid for the Pro Version, the handbook PDF and the Thumb drive w/ pro-version.
I have the free version running.
QUESTION: How do I activate the Pro Version?
This is what I downloaded:

Re: Pro Vers installation
Hi,
You can't convert a Trial into a Pro. Just de-install the trial and install instead the Pro.
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.

Please make sure that after downloading the full version, you also install the full version (not a previously downloaded trial version that still happens to be in your download folder).

If in doubt, uninstall all versions of QCAD and install the full version from scratch.

OK, Got it. Pro version running. Impressed so far.
Re: Pro Vers installation
Windows 10 64bit
opps... not there yet. QCad Pro loads and works. It stays open indefinitely. There is no box on display that tells me I am running a trial version. However when I try to SAVE or SAVE AS the program shuts down with no message after about 5 seconds.

Re: Pro Vers installation
Please disable the use of the system file dialog under:
Edit > Application Preferences > File > Open/Save > Use system file dialog (uncheck)
QCAD will then use its own file dialogs instead of the one provided by the Windows system which seems to cause troubles on your installation.
