Guest EricFoy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 PU 2 failed to install because I don't have my distribution CD. Bummer, because, lets face it, do we really use these things anyway? I generally install from the latest update. I own a license. It's all monitored over the interwebs anyway.. so what's the prob, guys? Come on. If you're gonna require the original CD, then how about doing away with the web monitoring stuff? One or the other, okay? Seriously, can't your installer figure out that I'm bona fide without requiring me to plug in the CD? I think so. So anyway, I'm not saying... I'm just saying... Sincerely, -Eric PS: I'll eventually find my CD, I hope. I'll let you know if I need you to send me a new one, which will probably co$t me some bucks. Meanwhile... I guess part of my end of the deal is not losing the thing, whereas your end of the deal is fixing what's broken. Whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Andersson Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Eric, I don't think its a license thing, its more likely that IC needs some code shunk from the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 One work-around for PU2: the new trial download includes PU2 so you could completely uninstall and just install from the trial (it is fully-functional). http://www.ironcad.com/index.php/downloads/free-cad-products BTW, Robert is correct, we do need code chunks from the DVD during the patch install.

Mike Allen Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 It's been our experience that we only need the distribution DVD for updates if we originally install from the distribution DVD. Since we started downloading the installation files & installing from a single network location, we have never been asked for the distribution DVD when installing updates.

Well, I guess that pretty much shuts me up, since I must have used the original disk to install this one. I found my original, so, I'll go away now.
