AutoCAD Educational Licenses

Learning a computer tool is easier every day. AutoCAD tutorials Online, blogs, forums and user communities are almost enough to learn in a self-taught way.

How to download AutoCAD

To download AutoCAD educational licenses, go to:

http://students.autodesk.com/

Then log in with a registered user, or register for the first time. The system will ask us for information such as age, university in which we study, year in which we will graduate and then we receive an email that we must confirm.

After this, choose the program, language, operating system, if it is 32 or 64 bits and then ... wait, because the files tend to be around 3 GB. We will see a code that is shown in red, with the serial number and activation key, without this information the downloaded license will only be a 30-day trial.

Once installed, we are asked for the activation data. This data can be consulted in the profile, both the Serial and Product Key.

You can not make an annual payment for these licenses, they have a duration of three years (36 months) from the date of download.

They are also ideal for those who write on the Internet, not to make illegal use of licenses, much less promote their practice.

If it is to learn AutoCAD, the above is enough. Once we finish the degree, it makes no sense to use an illegal license, especially if 64 teachers who taught us different classes at the University contributed a minimum fee to make us understand what professionalism is.
