MK: I had a link to 4.12 but just checked it and Trimble has removed that archive. I'm hoping either I'm doing something wrong / missing something on the install & someone can educate me to a fix or maybe someone has an old legacy install file saved somewhere from their original acquisition of the software It's all a guess at this point though as I haven't been able to find any documentation that features have in fact been removed. However, going back to legacy versions and removing features (if that's what has been done) I find completely unacceptable.
I understand software development cost money and I respect Trimble's decision to adjust the licensed features on new versions. My guess is any version of legacy software that has been sourced from Trimble after V5 was released has been hog-tied to match the licensed features set of the current generation. I have tried a few versions from their archives (4.1 / 3.9 / 3.82) but each attempt gives me the same result of previously allowed unlicensed features now throwing up a "command not licensed" dialog. I was able to find a TBC download page a reseller has setup with download links for legacy versions back to 3.5. I went through the same exercise returning to previously saved links for software downloads only to become frustrated by Trimble's removal of online resources. Subject: Legacy Versions - unlicensed features removed? Thank you in advance for 1) reading this far and 2) for any help! If functionality has been removed, does anyone have legacy version install files they would be willing to share that will still allow the unlicensed functionality? It's as if the legacy version has adapted the licensed feature list of TBC 5.xĭoes anyone have any knowledge to offer? am I missing something? Has Trimble removed functionality of the unlicensed core product on legacy versions? I was able to get a copy of TBC 4.10.3 from a reseller we have dealt with in the past however many of the unlicensed core features I was expecting would be available (based on the BC-HCE 4.10 licensed features spreadsheet in the community library) are indicating a license is now needed (eg. vce file from contractors and exported back to Civil 3d for preparation of the record drawings.ĭue to recent hardware failures & upgrades I have lost my TBC installation (believe I was using 3.6) and I no longer have my old install files either. And we also have historically accepted as-built records in the TBC.
Hoping for some help RE: legacy versions of TBC.Ī quick background: I am a Civil 3d user in civil engineering field and historically have used the unlicensed core functions of TBC to transfer design work from civil 3d (.dxf and landXML ) into TBC and export from TBC to site contractors (.dxf map &.
