Hi All,

I own the Boardmaker 2 (V2.6) PCB layout software, using a dongle.
After 2 house moves within one year I lost the dongle, I know, my fault. The
manufacturer, Tsien in the UK, only wants to sell me a new dongle for 70% of
the full package which amounts to some 500$ US, which really, really knocked
me out. I have original invoices, reg numbers so I can prove I bought it
from them. But there was no discussion possible.
Boardmaker is a DOS program, and I have since switched to Proteus (look Ma,
no dongle!), but still have designs in Boardmaker I need to modify or work
on. I am now forced to redesign these layouts or shell out 500$ US for
something I already paid, very frustrating.
So my question really is, has anybody still lying a Boardmaker dongle
around, or is it possible to work without the dongle? What other options do
I have?

Thanks, Jan Didden
