Upgrading from "AutoCAD LT 2010" to "AutoCAD LT 2013 Upgrade"

[BryantRacing]

I wish to upgrade from AutoCAD LT 2010 to AutoCAD LT 2013. I own a full AutoCAD LT 2010 license, and I just purchased a new AutoCAD LT 2013 Upgrade license.

However my machine (a Dell/AlienWare Aurora desktop) has just been re-imaged, so all AutoCAD software has been removed/cleaned. I'm not exactly sure how to go about this installation properly.

Do I install AutoCAD LT 2010 first, then install AutoCAD LT 2013 Upgrade?

I've scoured through the web-site and can't seem to locate any specifics in regards to this specific scenario.

I appreciate your help here.

You don't need to install the old software first: but you do need the old serial number to install the 'upgrade' version.
