    Hello, I have the read only version, Allegro Free physical Viewer. Would it be possible to access DB Doctor and download it? I have the same issue.

    Hello all, it appears a different version of this viewer is currently a better solution. Please let me know if you can download the free physical viewer from this link: https://www.cadence.com/ko_KR/home/tools/pcb-design-and-analysis/allegro-downloads-contact.html

    Hi Andy, I have sent you a friendship request so that we can connect directly to transfer an older viewer installation. Please respond to me by direct email. 

    I have now installed and tested this older viewer and it installs and works on an isolated machine.

    No problem Andy. If you now have installed an older viewer which works, please share the link here for others to use.
