I use XP also but found out I have one of the really old keys, from 2008, and need a new one.

What library/component are you trying to open? Does it cause this problem for any part? I cannot seem to duplicate this error on my end.

Any component. It may be to do with the out of memory errors (My computer has 4G installed).

When I start the program, the splash screen comes up, but never goes away.
A window pops up with:

No license was found for this version of
PCB Footprint Expert (version 2013)!
Program will continue to run without licensed options.

Click ok and a dialog box pops up with:

Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Out of memory.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Click on continue, open sample library that comes with V2013, double click on any component and I get a black window and a dialog box with:

That's exactly what I saw as well when I tried the LITE version.

Under 64-bit windows 7, I don't see the errors mentioned here.  I can open libraries, look and edit parts OK.  However, I run into two problems:

1) I cannot save libraries, instead I get a "No license found for this option" message box. However, the installed options window reads the USB key properly and shows the correct options enabled.

2) Attempting to build the current footprint causes an exception to be thrown:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'FPXCAM, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'FPXCAM, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)


Hope this feedback helps.

We just completed another build that hopefully resolves these issues. You can download the pre-release Footprint Expert v2013 from here.

Again, only the following users can install/use this:
  1. Original purchase after December 1, 2012
  2. Have a USB Key that works with v2012
 If you do not qualify for both of these and you still want to evaluate, please contact us offline.

Ok that fixed the previous two issues for me.  Now however, clicking finish in Pkg Designer throws this exception:

************** Exception Text **************

The last build seems to have fixed errors I had seen so far when run on 32 bit XP.
