On 01 September 2024, our license for Clewin 5 expired and Clewin 6 is available instead. It is available as evaluation version and expires on 01 September 2025.
Find the official userguide to Clewin 6 (CleWin6Help.pdf) in your local CleWin6-installation directory. Standard directory: C:\Program Files\CleWin6.1 evaluation version (for Clewin 5: C:\Program Files (x86)\CleWin5).
To help you get started, we also offer a self study Mask Design course.
