Our company has been given some Artpro files (not sure which version) despite requesting that the files be exported as an Illustrator eps. We actually own ArtPro 4, but have misplaced the dongle. So, anyone know a workaround to open these files without a license copy of ArtPro?

In addition, does anyone have a dongle for ArtPro version 4 that they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price (i.e. cheapish)?

What do you need to do with the file?

Need them opened, then exported as an Illustrator eps, that's it. We'd ask the company that supplied them to us to do this, but our client is kinda switching business from them to us, so we can't go to them directly. If anyone is interested in doing this for us, there's like 90 some files...a lot, for a reasonable fee, let me know. We're currently asking some local companies, but we could probably ship a hard drive with the files on them if necessary.

I'm sure we could help you out! Not sure on what they would charge but I don't think it would be much.

P.M if you would like to go down this road.

Did you have any luck getting those files to Ill? Maybe I can help you out.

Actually, a local company has agreed to help us out with this...no money changing hands, but we're giving them one of our older Radius monitors in trade. :wink: Thanks for the offers everyone.
