I got a new W7 machine, screaming fast.
How can I get my seat of Eagle Point 2000 transferred to the Windows 7 machine? I already got AutoCad 2000 up and running on it. It's warp speed.
The last time I tried to load EP on a new machine I ran into the need for an authorization code, but EP wouldn't provide one. That's when I left EP behind.
Does it make it any easier to watch the pyramid spinning at warp speed for an hour vs. spinning slowly for an hour?
Sorry - Could not resist. Obviously it is working for your needs.

W7 boots in 15 seconds. Dealer wanted to keep it.
When I did it on my machine with Carlson Survey 2004, the machine went on the internet and did it automatically. In the past it had automatically updated from Win 2000 to Win XP.
Last month I was helping another surveyor do his 2014 and it would not update automatically. Put in a call to Carlson, seems as how he had two seats for 2004 and had upgraded to 2013 with the serial number I was using. A quick lookup by Carlson and I had the other serial number in hand and all was OK.
All I can say is you should have bought Carlson years ago.

I could never get EP to run right on win 7. All the dialog boxes were messed up, small and mostly unreadable. Codes are another problem all together. As I understand it, EP no longer has survey modules, they were bought out, and want you on another product for survey stuff. I doubt you will get EP to run, nor get codes unfortunately. At the time, I put together a XP machine just for EP. Since then... transitioning to carlson.

EP I think the last upgrade was 2002, I can dig them up if they're still around and send. I think the codes were on the cd label. But not sure.

The last version I had required an authorization code that wasn't transferable. I don't remember how the arrangement worked, but I know that I had the original code I'd been issued, and it was rejected as invalid when I tried it on another computer. Same with my AutoCAD auth code. Neither EP nor Autodesk would issue new ones for superseded releases, so I changed software platforms instead.

Something like that happened to my EP2000/AutoCAD. I'm such a dumbass when it comes to computers, but the problem I remember was the way Windows changed the way their computers handled software. Rather than EP software knowing it resided on a computer it thought it resided on a server after WIndows redesigned the way it handled registry. EP was dependent on "chair licensing" and the new 'network registry bs' kept it from running. EP wanted more money for their 'new and improved'. That was when I jumped to other software.

I got AutoCad 2000 working, but EP does require authorization codes phoned in and obtained from EP, and hand entered.
I would never do business with a company that won't migrate from one computer to another. I hope no one else would either. You're either a help to your customers, or you burden them with nonsense problems. Period.

Do you have full AutoCAD 2000? Check with Carlson, if I recall correctly. Since it is a package run in AutoCAD a newer version of Carlson standalone with IntelliCAd could run on a licensed older AutoCAD product. It would not be as financially painful.

I'm not a current Carlson user, but what I've heard others say is that the latest version of IntelliCAD is pretty stable. That might work just as well as marrying Carlson to a 16 year old version of AutoCAD.
I do have a full legit version (unlocked) of ACAD 2000. It really does more than I need, but it's like an old Ruger 22 - feels like part of me.
I had to pull a somersault installing it - turns out that W7 will run a 32 bit program (AutoCad 2000), but the install program was a 16 bit, which it won't run. I had to pay for Longbow to get it installed. It's all here, and works well. Uses your serial numbers and auth codes like it should.

Eagle Point should do likewise. After all, I paid for it. A lot.

Nope, you have to call Eagle Point for each install and get the codes, different every time you install. Don't see how that could be programmed in to the software; AutoCad doesn't do that.
Eaglepoint migrated to Autodesk Civil 3d. The last email I have from them trying to get me to convert was in 2012
