Thread: Who's using Alibre? How is it going?

Sorry Greg I feel your pain mate.

Does anyone know if there are any books available on Alibre? I just got it as part of a Tormach Mill package from the US, yet to have a go at it though, the mill gets here early December.

Couldn't find a book, but a Google search came up with a lot of tutorials

A while ago I was trialling Win7 to see if I wanted to abandon XP.

At this time I sought help from Alibre about install on Win7 and used up my last install key. Alibre was adamant that I could not run Ver 11 on Win7 and would offer no further help.

With the help of a forum I found that a simple registry entry was all that was needed to install on Win7. Which I did and program was fine.

Subsequent to that I bought a legal Win7 and set up on a new hard drive. (fried the old one) but now I have no install key.

Didn't bother asking for a new install key as the response would have been the same. "Won't work on Win7 so we won't give you one".

So on impulse I decided to buy the latest version. (Sucker)

Amos at Alibre Australia contacted me and suggested that instead of buying a new instance of Alibre 13, I should buy one years

maintenance, which gives me free upgrade from Ver11. and some other benefits.

Same price as I have paid for the new license and he will change my order.

Let you know how it goes.

"Alibre 13" is how Amos referred to it. "Alibre 2011" it is.
