Does upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 affect the license? Can you just upgrade to Windows 11 and Viacad Pro will just keep working or do we have to do something with the license?

Thanks!

I'm holding off.
Often the windows upgrades break your version necessitating a upgrade.
I'm using Viacad pro 10 and it does everything I need it to so I don't really want to upgrade. If it breaks I have to buy the upgrade thanks to windows.
It would be nice to know if it is safe or not.

Yes, ViaCAD 11 is running well on Win 11. Only copying the serial number is needed. But the old installation - ViaCAD 11 on Win 10 computer - doesnt work now. Was expected.

What does the bold part mean if you had upgraded the OS to Win11?
