My computer (windows 10) did something weird today and all my programs have gone . Iv'e tried recovery and a bunch of other things but nothing . So i'm going to format the lot and reinstall windows. So my question is where do I go to get a fresh copy of Exocad ,2016 I think (with the automatic tooth placement,,,,,,although I prefer the 2015 version with out it) Once iv'e got it installed I guess the dongle will automatically verify and it should work ? ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Also on a side note I will need to get collab 2017 for my identica 300 scanner ,I'm guessing from the Medit site . Any one who has done this have any tips for me it would be much appreciated . Exo.jpg

Do you remember the build number of the version you had? Once a new version comes out the old is gone like a fart in the wind. I gave some old versions around, but it would be helpful to know the build number to avoid down loading and installing a bunch of stuff that no worky.
Otherwise you will have to update your dongle contract for the new version and all that goes with it.

No I don't know . Iv'e only had it for about a year . I bought the whole computer + dongle through eBay from a lab in Canada . Zero sent me the link for 2015 copy which I much prefer (I only do simple stuff in the lab) So I'm hoping the dongle will work with the older program . I will look at my history on eBay and see if the version was listed in the lab .

I suggest get a second hard drive, install windows what ever version you want and make the original one a slave to the new one.This way you do not loose the files you have on te original hard drive.

I suggest to sync to a big online drive so you have aces from where you want. I have 2 TB so a lot to do and just need to pick up the dongle
