Savvy Sequencer Release Notes

Installation instructions

QWho is eligible to use a student license?  
A

In order to use the plug-in at the student rate, you must use the free, watermarked, educational Vectorworks license. 

Educators with a standard Vectorworks license must purchase a standard license as well. Please contact us if you would like a time-sensitive demo code for demonstrating a plug-in to your class.

If you have a CAD lab of five or more seats, please contact us to see if you are eligible for a free license.

QWhat happens if I upgrade or switch platforms?  
A

All JBLD plug-ins are platform as well as version independent. You may use your license with any version of Vectorworks from the minimal supported version up.

They are, however, linked to a specific seat of Vectorworks, meaning you may use them with a specific Vectorworks serial number and its subsequent upgrades.

Savvy Series licenses are linked to a specific version of Vectorworks. For example, if you have the 2020 Savvy Subscription Series, it will work in perpetuity with Vectorworks 2020.

QWhen I enter my registration key, the OK button remains grayed out....
A

If you enter a registration code but the “OK” button remains grayed, please double check the following:

  1. Make sure you have installed the latest version of the plug-in.  You can download the current release any time from the Downloads page.
  2. Make sure you are matching the correct registration code to the correct product.
  3. If you purchased a student version (registration begins with “A”), it will only work with an E series, free educational license of VectorWorks.  You can purchase an upgrade to a full version of the plug-in.
  4. If copying and pasting in your registration code, make sure there are no spaces or carriage returns at the beginning or end of the field.  If you use the arrow key to move to the ends of the field, you may catch the extra characters.
  5. The code is case sensitive.
  6. All “0” are zeros. (Except for the Savvy Section product code, SO.)
  7. Make sure your Vectorworks seat registration is correct.  In your plug-in registration, nnnn-nnnn-XXXXXX-nnnn, XXXXXX should match the last six characters of your Vectorworks serial number.

If you have tried all these steps, and your registration code still produces an error, there will be a 5 digit code next to the registration field. Please follow this link and enter it into the troubleshooting formfollow this link and enter it into the troubleshooting form.

If you do not see the error code, make sure you have updated to the latest version, and have entered your user name.

If there is still no error code, you have entered a registration with too many or too few characters.

QWhere are the plug-ins and help installed?  
A
By default, the plug-ins, libraries, and workspaces all get installed in your Vectorworks user data folder.
 
On the Mac this is: ~/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/{version number}
On Windows, this is: /users/{user_name}/Application Data/Nemetschek/Vectorworks/{version number}
 
You can confirm the location that Vectorworks looks for user data. Open Vectorworks preferences (Tools>Options>Vectorworks Preferences…). Switch to the User Folders tab. You will see the setting for your user data folder.
 
Note, if you are confirming installation via the Plug-in Manager, compiled plug-ins appear in the Built-in tab, not the Third-party tab
