Home Ditch the Dongle

For over 25 years, CADlink software has shipped with a trusted security dongle — a reliable way to ensure the authenticity of your CADlink license.

But technology evolves, and so do we. Today, you can enjoy the same trusted CADlink experience without any external devices. No more USB keys, no extra hardware — just seamless, instant activation.

When purchasing CADlink software from us or your preferred dealer, simply choose Activation Code as your security option. Instead of verifying your license through a physical USB key, the software securely checks in with our database online. You’ll need an internet connection for installation and operation, but in today’s connected world, that’s rarely an issue.

Why choose Activation Codes?

  • Instant access — start using your software right away.
  • No shipping or e-waste — go fully digital and eco-friendly.
  • Easy trials — activate and explore immediately.
  • Flexible device management — deactivate a machine anytime and reactivate on another in just a few clicks.
  • Simplified reseller experience — no need to maintain or ship physical stock.

Whether you’re upgrading from a legacy version or starting fresh with CADlink, Activation Codes offer a faster, greener, and more convenient way to get your software running — no dongle required.
