As always, 1.7.2 can be downloaded for free from here. If you already have a valid Wing Helper license, you will be able to work with 1.7.2 without the need to re-enter the license key. If you don't own a Wing Helper license yet, after the trial period is over, export to (DXF, SCAD, PDF, NGC, HOW) will be disabled.
Important note for Windows users: due to the change in the signature key provider from Sectigo to SSL.COM, in some cases, you can receive the following warning when installing Wing Helper on your Windows machine (the screenshots are taken from BETA 1):
:
If that happens, please press "More info", and you will be presented with more detailed information and the option to execute Wing Helper anyway:
It is safe to ignore this message if you even receive it - reportedly, Windows requires the downloaded executables some time to acquire sufficient "reputation" before it accepts the signature with no complaints. When you press "Run anyway", Wing Helper will install with no further issues.
If you want to be sure, you can optionally also check the signature yourself, before installing Wing Helper, by right-clicking on SetupWingHelper_1.7.2_Beta_1.exe and selecting the menu option "Properties":
Then select "Digital Signatures" and below:
Kind regards,
