ARTA in the demo version does not allow the import of PIR files, but it is possible to save them. As someone wants to continue to use ARTA for measurements for VituixCAD, using the Spatial impulse response group record module ARTA will save PIR files even in the demo version. Thus, everything we need for simulation in VituixCAD is available in ARTA's demo package.

Possibly Ivo will take the same approach as when Basta and Sirp were retired and provide a public license key so anyone that wants to use the software can use it fully. Time will tell. But mV8 is right, if you simply follow the VituixCAD measurement guide for ARTA, you will have success even without a licensed installation.
You simply follow the VituixCAD tutorial, and ARTA in the demo version will save PIR files. If you want to save only one measurement, e.g. only for angle 0, you stop measuring the sequence after the program saves the first measurement for angle 0.

In the interest for the greater good I would only wish the developer would consider to publish the source code some time in the future, perhaps on GitHub or similar open source development platform, or in some other way keeping it alive, so that in can be kept maintained allowing for eventually existing bugs and errors to be corrected, as well as allowing for the ability keep developing and adding new features.
Other than that, the SW in its current state is, as far as I understand it, already offering the most important features one can wish from it even without a license key, so any eventual release of the license key is rather futile in itself.
Finally, a big Thank You from me as well to Mr Ivo for everything already offered to the diy audio community, enjoy your well deserved rest.
