Installation & Licensing

[#1]

"My problem is with the installation. When the download is complete a message pops up and says install, so i install. once that is done another screen comes up where it says install the product, create deployments, install tools and utilities and read the documentation. so i select install the product and the message appears "you cannot install this product on the current operating system." (this is for AutoCAD 2011)"

I am having this EXACT same problem and I didn't see any solution.

I am trying to install the 30 day Trial version. I have tried to install the trial versions of both AutoCAD and AutoCAD Lite 2011 to no avail. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Someone help!

Me too!  I've got the AutoCAD 2011 Student Version.  It came with 2 discs.  One disc is labeled "64-bit", disc 2 is labeled "32 bit & 64 bit".

I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 Bit), and when I try to install from the setup.exe on disc 1, it says "You cannot install this product on this Operating System".  I can't find any setup files on disc 2.

What is going on?

For Windows XP 32-bit you will need:

32-bit Disk 1 of 2 (32-bit installer is on this disk)

and

32-bit and 64-bit disk 2 of 2

For Windows XP 32-bit you will need:

32-bit Disk 1 of 2 (32-bit installer is on this disk)

and

32-bit and 64-bit disk 2 of 2

Thanks for the info, Douglas.  How can I exchange the discs I have for this version?

The media you have should contain all three DVD’s. If not you should contact your reseller or the Autodesk Business Center for replacement media.

Also, students can download Student Version (32-bit or 64-bit) for free 36-month student license from http://www.autodesk.com/edcommunity

Hello.  I am facing the same problem trying to install autocad architecture 2011.  H/W and S/W config are OK, but I still receive the error message.

Just spent 6 hours on this...any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks,

Post a screen capture of your system specifications here.

I overcame this problem with the Alias package by locating the actual install file and running that rather than the setup file.
