It is all about money for those companies. It is the same with Adobe by the way, I can’t install my CS2 Design package anymore. But man, I am cursing Autodesk all the way down that road! Perhaps if I uninstall AutoCad on the new PC, erases everything in RegEdit that has Autodesks name on it, and then reinstall…perhaps that would work. It is as if the key-file has been tagged, so the transfer utility can see, that it has been used once - but I am not able to generate a new key-file. I have tried to reverse transfer, generate a new key, uninstall+reinstall AutoCad on the new PC…it doesn’t work. I have the original transfer key-file and everything, but it doesn’t work out. Unfortunately, the transferred licencse also turned out to have a due date, so after half a year, none of my PCs can run AutoCad2008. I then got a new Windows10 PC, and because I couldn’t register the AutoCad2008 software back then (2020), Instead I used the transfer license utility to transfer the active license from my old PC to the new - which worked fine. I only use it now and then, so version 2008 is just fine. ![]() I have a full AutoCad Architecture 2008 license that used to run fine on an older, standalone Windows7 workstation I have.

Please comment and provide the details. To those people stuck without a working AutoCAD who need to get work done while fighting Autodesk, regular readers of this blog will be able to tell you know where to go to get 30 days’ relief. No? Don’t have that in the piggy bank? Better get cracking, then. If you have an old release lying around for whatever reason, maybe you’d better check to make sure it’s not broken.Īutodesk, if you can’t get your licensing act together, I hope you’ve budgeted enough to provide full refunds to everyone with an old license. This derivative image was created from scratch using BricsCAD V18 and falls under fair use (commentary, criticism). Original Red A figure copyright Autodesk, Inc. People paid a lot of money for this software and they deserve to have it working. Whether this is a deliberate act or yet another “ this won’t happen again” screw-up is difficult to determine, but either way it’s pretty obnoxious. They’re also reporting that Autodesk is being less than helpful about fixing the problem in any reasonable kind of timeframe. I’m seeing multiple recent complaints from people stating that their older but perfectly legal perpetual license AutoCADs are being broken. ![]()
