Enroute 4.1 upgrade

[Dan.antes]

Hey all Enroute users. The new release of Enroute 4.1 is now available. Installed it last week as an upgrade from 4.0. Better drawing tools like preceision mirror and rotate. Also better circle and ellipse tools. If Scanvec keeps up the good work I will be able to ditch all of my other drawing programs and just use Enroute as a comprehensive CAD/CAM package. Thanks all of you programers at Enroute and Scanvec Amiable!!! Keep up the good work. I can't wait for what you come up with next.

New Activation Procedure
Part of the new security system is that new keys will have to be activated. This will allow us to better communicate when things like new releases come out. The installation process is the same as before, but when EnRoute is first run, an Activation window will appear. If the PC is connected to the internet, clicking the Activate Now button will automatically open up the Registration Page where the information can be entered. After entering the information, an email will be sent to the customer with the Activation Code, which can then be entered. Or the user can choose Activate Later and then complete the process at a later time by going to www.saintl.biz/reg. The information necessary to Activate the key is shown at the bottom of the Activation window.


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will I still be able to run EnRoute version 3 or 4 if I go to 4.1?
If you had version 3 or 4 and would still be able to run older versions, you can do that. Just make sure to indicate that you would like to be able to run the older versions from your old key on your new key when you place your new key and/or upgrade order. The older passwords will need to be added. Also, if you have version 4 and you want to be able to run the older EnRoute 4, make sure to install EnRoute 4.1 to a new folder and not over top of your old folder when installing EnRoute 4.1.

Is EnRoute 4.1 Vista Compatible?
Yes, EnRoute 4.1 is Window’s Vista compatible.

Will EnRoute 4.1 run on Window Vista or XP 64-bit?
Yes, EnRoute 4.1 will run on Windows Vista and XP 64-bit.

Why do I have to pay $50 for a new key?
EnRoute software does not have yearly maintenance fees or frequent upgrades. In fact, after EnRoute was first released, there were multiple no-charge updates released over a seven year period. So when it comes to charges after the sale, we have a pretty good program. But it was necessary for us to switch to a new security system to better protect your investment and to be able to provide new types of capabilities such server keys and keyless systems, which are projects that we are working on. It’s a course of action we have to take to best serve our customers and to remain competitive in the market.

Does this version contain the new DXF and DWG Import filters?
Although we have joined a group that will allow us to offer the very latest support for 2D DXF and DWG files, we are still working on implementing the new import files into EnRoute. Adding this is a very high priority and we expect to be able to include it on a release later this year.

Is the EnRoute 4 Training CD done?
The EnRoute 4 Training DVD has been updated with new movies that show the new design tools of EnRoute 4 software. This DVD covers the Basic and Plus versions of EnRoute and includes a section on ATP. The cost of the training CD is $349. An EnRoute Pro training CD is currently in the works.
