registration number

I am a college student and I need a CAD program. I was emailed an offer from goclosingdown.com, I believe is their site, and they offered your Auto Desk Auto-CAD 2008 software for $130.00. I received the downloads, downloaded them and after a week of trying to get help form their help desk I figured it out on my own but I was not given a registration number and I fear I may have been duped into buying from a scam artist so I need your assistance. Can someone please steer me in the right direction? Thank you, Greg.

I am not positive on this, but I believe it is because there is no longer any support for AutoCAD 2008. They obsolete the old programs as fast as they bring in the new ones.

That is correct. It sounds like they essentially sold you the equivelent of a digital distribution of the trial version. Without a valid serial number, that is basically all that you have. You purchased a product with no license. I would have your credit card company reverse the charges if it is not too late. Software piracy is a major problem. I am sorry for your inconvenience.

Hi Greg,


The site you have visited is not a Authorized Autodesk Education Reseller so I would agree with the other post that you should contact your credit card company.

If you want to purchase a student version of a current release of AutoCAD you can find an authorized education reseller, here:
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=10916796&siteID=123112

If you are a full-time student, you can obtain free versions of many Autodesk applications, including AutoCAD, by registering for the Autodesk Education Community:

Sorry for your troubles and best regards,

Matt
