Help: Getting a student copy (AutoCad 2010)

[TonyD]

I'm having one heck of a time getting a student copy of auto CAD.

I have been to their site (autodesk) and went through their maze of pages and e-mails.

I now have the Product key # and a Serial number. And I have the program installed. Now through e-mail they want a, well I let you read the quote below.

 

Thank you for your request. In order to generate an activation (authorization) code we will need the 16-to-32-digit request code that is displayed on your monitor after you begin the activation (authorization) routine.

 

I printed out every e-mail and every page and still have yet to see this number.

I wish I could go else were. I know they need to be safe with their product, but at what expense?

 

thanks in advance.

As the message states, they want the request code that is "displayed on your monitor" after you begin activation. The code is not in your email, it is generated by the program when you go through the activation process.

 

When you open Autocad, do you get a message stating that you need to register the product? If so, you should be able to find the request code there.

Thanks. I do know it is NOT in an e-mail (or any links / pages I went through) that is why I asked. As stated above it's not on any of the pages I was linked to, as I printed all of them. I did this because others have had a hard time with the process as well.

 

I'll try what you said and see how that works. Thanks

It all makes sense now.

Thanks for your help again.
