Yesterday I have received an email from CJCH Solicitors about illegal use of SolidWorks.
I found it this morning and stupid me replied before I googled...
I have replied that I have removed the software and will be waiting for contact from Dessault to discuss a licence.
What I didn't tell them:
I have been using the legal software in my previous job. And I have been using their login after I left, but recently the login is not working anymore. I have used this for personal projects, not for my company.
I now am very worried because I replied... hope I didn't mess this up by not checking google before replying. I tried to pull the email back, but 9 out of 10 times that doesn't work.
Any advise for me in this specific situation?
Should I send another email asking for proof and let them know I used a legal version? Or should I just ignore from now on?
Many thanks in advance.
Note: Until now, I have been using the free version of SketchUp for my company. But I get frustrated with it, because I can model so much faster and better in SolidWorks. I was already thinking of buying a SW licence from my local distributor. But I had to wait because before the 1st of April I could not reclaim VAT on my investment.
