Virtual Architect Home & Landscape Platinum Suite

I was really looking forward to this software to decorate my home when I retired. I installed it per the instructions; then to my dismay they asked for a serial number to activate the software - there is NO SERIAL NUMBER. So totally disappointed...

great product

Great software. Enjoying it.

DO NOT BUY FROM NOVA DEVELOPMENT - THEY SELL SOFTWARE THATS NOT COMPATIBLE AND ITS INCORRECTLY MARKED ON THE PACKAGING. AND THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR ERROR.

I had very high hopes when I purchased this software but after installing and reading the manual it has got to be one of the most difficult things to work with. I have had it for almost a month and I still cant get the measurements right on the software.

I cant figure out how to use it. When you try the user guide , you get an error

I have a program (Better Homes Home Designer) that is over 10 years old that I like better. This new program seems awkward and erratic to me--difficult to use.

A) This isnt the HGTV version. This is Virtual Architect. Box looks pretty much the same so maybe VA bought it and ruined it? Anyway. Wont install on my Windows 7 system. Went online, did everything I was told. Installed a bunch of SQL server stuff and disabled a bunch of startup items to give it due diligence. Nothing worked. Total garbage. Spend up and buy something that works.

I bought it to design a one acre lot. Canʻt fit a lot that size into the work area, canʻt see the dimensions as I create lot lines or even after for that matter. Very steep learning curve, may be possible to do what I want to do, but I donʻt see how. Donʻt waste your money. Iʻve had several house and landscape design tools, and this is by far the worst Iʻve encountered.

Not worth it at any price. I bought it based on item descriptions but it definitely not user friendly . Still waiting on rebate after four months and six calls. I will avoid this company like the plague.
