    We have had to reinstall on a student computer and the message Serial # is invalid.  Been trying to fix this for a month,  any suggestions?

    Hello Sabrina!

     

    Could be a few issues causing the invalid serial number error.

     

    Most common, is AutoCAD for Mac 2012, that either requires the student download the latest release, or install in trial mode and install on first run. Additionally, there is a known issue with random Education Community profiles that prevents the licensing info from communicating properly and spits out that error as a result. A workaround for that scenario is to simply create a new account with a different email address.

     

    I'd be more than happy to look into it if you could please send me a Private Message (click on my philip.s profile name and then "Send this user a private message") with the serial number, product info, and students email address.
