Hello

Thought i would try one more time. Does anyone use the personal alpha by Charon. I am looking for the sripacket.ini or inf file. I cant use the network functions if i dont get it. I must have not archived it when i save all to my cd collection. Please imform me via personal message and i will give you a way to send it to me if needed.

Thanks In Advance

Stromasys no longer offers a free version and the one you reference is extremely old and no longer supported.

If this is being used for educational purposes or research, Stromasys MAY offer a free temporary license per management.

Contact me directly offline if you qualify as listed above.

Phil,

are you aware, that there are other free Alpha emulators (e.g. FreeAXP or AXPbox) ? But those won't most likely run on Windows XP anymore - as indicated in your subject.

Hello

I am also running freeaxp at the time i did not have a working windows 8
to 10 pc. I found a place to buy a license and am now running it in
windows 10 pro 64 bit. I now have the sripacket.inf file so i am going
to put up an xp load in a vm to just see how it runs.

Thanks for your response

Hello

I know they no longer offer the free alpha emulator. I have it on a cd i
make years ago. I just did not include the sripacket.inf file LOL. I
have a license from vmssoftware/community-license. I am at the moment
running freeaxp but also want to try the personal alpha due to it
running on a now really cheep os. windows 10 is not a cheep os lol.

Thanks for your input
