I got an email about an upgrade to Infrastruc Design Ste Standard 2014. What the hell is that? I have Autodesk Map.
Then it said "Commerical Product Upgrade Windows From Subscription-AF Only is now available for download." Obviously it is from a non-English speaking jargon freak. What is going on?
Also, I need to link to MS ACCESS tables. Will I be able to do that in the "new Improved version"
web site is wildly non-functional. I tried to sign in and the sign-in area went white. Now I am looking for a send button and I don't see one.
I can not find any phone numbers to call. So...this is the Autodesk experience, doomed insanity.
My apologies for the inconvenience / misunderstanding Patrick.
As a Contract Manager you would have been sent a couple emails over the last few weeks explaining the automatic upgrade from Map 3D to Infrastructure Design Suite, and how to opt-out if you would like to remain with the previous.
In regards to the inability to access the Subscription Center, this is a known issue with IE 10 is not currently supported in the Subscription Center. Additional information can be found on our Subscription Center Sign-In Guide.
Specifically:
Subscription Center is fully compatible with the following Internet Browsers:
Note: Internet Explorer 10 is not currently compatible with Subscription Center and as a result may not function properly. If you're using Internet Explorer 10, we recommend adding Autodesk.com to your Compatibility View Settings as described below:
Hold down Alt-T, select Compatibility View Settings -> Add "autodesk.com".
Hi Patrick,
I just attempted to send you the 3 email notifications that would have been sent to you, but was blocked, which might be why you didn't receive them in the first place.
Do you have an alternative email address that I can use?
Just resent / looks like that one went through.
More insanity.
So after the long route of finding out that no notice for converting my Autodesk Map to something else, and getting it changed back to MAP was over, I go the notice that the 2014 update was available.
I went to the subscription site to log on and download the update but everytime I tried to log on, the log-on area went white and everything dissappeared.
I tried to find a phone number to call since I couldn't log on, and all the help info said to log on and get help.
Come to find out, the autodesk.com site is not compatible with Explorer 10. Via email I contacted subscription and they said to use Alt-t to allow the autodesk.com site to be openend in "compatibility mode". I have a W7 and a W8 computer and this did not work on either of them.
My only alternative was to call someone and guess what, Autodesk no longer has ANY kind of call center. I finally found some of their offices and had to call their front desks, some of which were just voice mails.
I finally got a call back and they will now send me a DVD. They also mentioned that all I needed to do was type in my user name and password even though I couldn't see anything and that would work.
Man, is this a sinking ship or what?
