Can PDsoft be installed on 64-bit systems?

This post was last edited by yudeguoshi on 2016-4-7 20:01. I want to buy the PDsoft software, but the seller said that the 64-bit version cannot be installed. I wonder if anyone has tried to install this software on a WIN 7 64-bit system (I’m not sure whether it’s impossible to install any 64-bit version, or if it’s related to the software being sold; I hope those who know can give some guidance. 0.0)
First, you need to install a CAD version prior to 08, then install the PDSOFT software; if the installation is successful, you can then purchase a license key
Or, if the computer is powerful enough, a XP virtual machine can be installed on a Win7 64-bit system, and PDsoft can be used
Isn’t PDsoft the CAD for 04? Are you saying that it can be used as long as it can be installed successfully without a dongle?
What does \"good performance\" mean? Will the virtual machine have any impact on the use of other software or systems? Or will it turn the system into XP once installed?
CAD versions from 04-08 will all work; a colleague of mine managed to install one of them recently and it is functioning properly.
Virtual machines have no impact on existing systems
A virtual machine creates a virtual version of memory, hard drive, and other resources on top of your existing computer system, thereby forming another operating system. When the software for running the virtual machine is used, the XP operating system is active; otherwise, it’s the regular WIN7-64-bit system. PDsoft can be used within the virtual XP system, but it does consume more of the computer’s hardware resources.
Ah, it seems pretty impressive. 0.0 Thank you all! I’ll give it a try later; if I have any questions, I’ll come back and ask
The old version is unclear; let’s talk about the installation of V3.0. There is only one installation file, with no distinction between 32-bit and 64-bit versions. After installation on a 64-bit machine, two startup options will be available, corresponding to the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CAD respectively. In other words, use a PDSoft version with the same number of bits as your CAD. V3.0 is now compatible with AutoCAD 2012.
