I am an Autocad instructor at a local Houston college and need to find out if an idea of mine will work which will aid my students in obtaining a trial version of Autocad. At present, any of my students can go to www.students.autodesk.com and register to allow a 30day trial version to last 13 months longer, with their student email address. My question is this. Many of my students have difficulty downloading the trial version because of the file size. Is it possible for me to download the trial version, say to my portable hard drive, then allow my students to copy that so they can go home and install on their home computer? I understand that after they install the software they will input the information from the school email that was provided by Autodesk.

Aug 22, 2016 - Autodesk AutoCAD 2010 Multilanguage. 32bit 64bit RAR file separate. Design and shape the world around you with the powerful and flexible.

Will this scenerio work? Or is each downloaded version tied to the students individual serial number and product key number? Thanks, Randy Dobson. I think a class on installing it may be helpful. Set up a workstation connected to a projector and walk though the typical install process and maybe even creating some screen captures of the dialogs as handouts. -- Murph 'dob1977' wrote in message news:6310122@discussion.autodesk.com.

Jake, Thanks for the quick reply, that will help my students out quite a bit. Many of them are not that knowledgable when it comes to downloading and installing software. Happy New Year, Randy Dobson.

You might want to print the checksheet at the end of the document and hand out to students. I burn the install files to disk and then check that out to students who are having trouble downloading. There is also a link on the student website to request a DVD by snail mail (USA). They simply need to get their personal serial number from the student downloads page. 3 most common questions Q1. Says I can't install on my operating system, why won't product install on Windows 7.

The downloads are separated into 32-bit and 64-bit versions to reduce time. Must know what OS (32-bit or 64-bit is installed). Why does it say my username and password are incorrect, I'm logged in here (student site) to post this question, so it must be correct? The registration site is not the student site, the student site is not the registration site. An new username and password account must be created on the registration site. I says I can't register in (fill in the country name). There has been a problem with the serial number bank.

Email the student site. I almost forgot Q4.

I thought this software was supposed to run for a year? I downoaded the 30-day trial version by mistake. All Autodesk software initially installs as a trial - you must register the software to activate your free 13-month student license. I don't graduate for xx number of years. Next year (assuming Autodesk continues this program) simply download and register the next release.

That is what I have been doing for several years. I download Autodesk xxx 2009 about a year ago and now it says the license has expired. How can I renew my student license? Your license was for 13-months. What part of '13-month license' do you not understand. With a million members these questions come up about a dozen times a day.
