Can't download any Autodesk product from student community

I am a registered Autodesk student community user and have successfully downloaded AutoCAD before (through the old downloading tool).  Now when I try to download through the student community free downloads page, I get a long, thin white bar with a [CLOSE] button and nothing else.  Nothing seems to start automatically downloading either.  What's wrong?

I was issued a serial number and the "browser download" button appears for me. However, when I click on the button, nothing happens. That is my only option. I was attempting to downlaod 3DS Max 2012.

Hi Gerald,

 

Install Now option is available if you are downloading 2013 version. I generated AutoCAD 2013 using your profile and all other Download Options/buttons can be seen.

 

For 2012 download, I suggest you you use other browsers other than the one you are currently using.

Hi, I was trying to download Windows 32-bit Autodesk 3DS Max by Install Now and Download Now. To put it shortly, they didn't work and now I'm trying Browser Download. From what I see on this forum, this has been a common problem.

 

Is there anything I'm doing wrong, and what can I do to get it on my computer if Browser Download doesn't work?

Hi usfjerry:

 

You can download Autodesk 3DS Max 2012 through this link. Please note that the link is valid only for 5 days. If you encounter any activation issue, you can contact our Registration and Activation team directly.

 

Best Regards,

Hi dukduks,

 

I've tested both the Install Now and Browser Download methods to download 3ds Max Design 2013 from the Education Community and I was able to get the program without a problem.

 

Here are two direct download links, valid for 72 hours. I would suggest you check your firewall and anti-virus settings before trying to download and see if they are not blocking content from *.autodesk.com:

 

3ds Max Design 2013 32-bit

 

3ds Max Design 2013 64-bit

 

Let me know if these work for you, please.

Excuse me but ahve been trying to download Autodesk Maya 2013 and well it not working and i tried the download maneger and it says 'aborted Error: 0x2500001)' what does this mean and can you help me? please reply to me at Fernandez.moises14@gmail.com  

Message 93 of 179

Hi fernandez.moises14,

 

Please, try downloading Maya 2013 from Matt, our Virtual Agent with your firewall and anti-virus programs disabled. Click here and select the option Downloading and Installation -> Software Download Links -> I Need to Redownload my Product; then simply choose the program and version that you wish to download.

 

Then simply use the serial number and product key that you got from the Education Community to activate the program.

 

Best regards,

Hi there,

I've been trying to download Revit 2013, but my internet cannot handle the download process.

Is there any possible way to which discs can be sent to my home address instead of having to download it?

 

Kindest Regards.

Message 95 of 179

Hi kyle.mcdermott, 

 

I would suggest you contact one of our authorized resellers in your area as they should be able to provide you with a non-commercial copy of the software for this purpose. 

 

Best regards,

Hi, I'm trying to download Autodesk 3DS Max 2013 and the download speed counts down like a clock form 30m/bs to 1 b/s and never goes up again.

Welcome to the community Zach!

 

What delivery method are you utilizing (Install Now, Download Now, Browser Download)? Can you try using an alternative, specifically Browser Download and let us know if the issue persists?

Message 98 of 179

Hi, I am unable to get any result for any mothod of sownload. When i click "install now", or anything else, so download begins.

Hey Adam, welcome to the community!

 

Have you tried switching browsers and/or turning off popup blockers yet?

Message 100 of 179

Ah! Thank you. I switched to Firefox, and the download agreement came up. Many thanks!
