i found this in a CNC forum. its a pre-release software kinda thing. if they have 100k people signing up for their release, they will give it away to those 100k people. its at about 60k right now. it cant hurt.
i guess they just want to build up a contact base. who knows. it seems legit, many sites have confirmed its legitamacy. worst case, use your spam email account to register.

Current Registrations: 58555
This should be another way to confirm its legitimacy.

if anyone can sign up for the program, even if they want to do simply modeling, it would help 58k people 🙂 where else can you help that many people!
all you need is an email address. thats all the personal information they require from you.

i heard some stuff in some other forums that they will just keep it going until it hits 100k. i mean, if they invested in the website, contest, etc... they might as well make use of it. also, ive heard from the "inside" they have the ability to add to the counter.
free cad software is always nice. especially if its good stuff.

They are at 60,174 but hear this catch:
"Everyone who registers will get the X-CAD product for FREE — but only if 100,000 people participate. So, spread the word and get your free 3D CAD software faster — tell all your colleagues and friends to register too! "
BUT ONLY IF 100,000 participate!!!

thats why i posted it here.
if its easy to use, anyone on this forum could use it to do mock-ups of projects and any other kinda of modeling needed when just designing something.

ACAD getting the share. >It amazes to see how much money is rolling to this company.
A source said that ACAD sold last year 2.7 million seats for all their software.
If these were all LT which is the low cost version just add 3 “0” to that figure.
Something does not sound right with actual pricing for this software which goes up to nearly US$5,000.
ACAD will pay a price for this in the long run. We have seen this many times… they will loose market no doubt.

After doing a little bit of digging, I think I've figured out who the company behind this publicity stunt is. If I'm right, I'm actually quite stoked, as I've been contemplating buying the program! I'm not going to spoil things by saying who I think it is, but I will drop this little hint, fing out who the netblock owner of the IP address is, and that should shed some light on the whole thing.
Again, if its who I think it is (which its looking like I'm probably right, based on what some other sources have been saying) its a nice product that should be better with their new version, now that they've re-written it in C++ instead of Java! (Yes, someone wrote a full CAD program in Java!!)

I really doesn't say what kind of license is for free. Doesn anyone know? Is it a "light " version? Will there be time limitations?

If you're going to spend time learning something, wouldn't you hope that the time is well spent?
Very true, especially with complex 3d cad.
But what I was trying to say is that it doesn't really matter for the registration aspect, register anyway, then decide if you want to download it when the full details/package are released.

How about I just give another hint? Look at the IP address and go two lower, and all will be made clear.
As to the possibilities as to if its a lite version or time limited, my guess is that it will be time limited in some way, unfortunately. I'm also afraid they may be giving away licenses to the previous release. We'll find out soon though.
