Still possible to download a free trial??

[Anonymous]

I have a 64bit with windows Vista Home and am looking to at least get the 2012 free trial version. Is this still possible?

2012 is the only version my laptop will support- correct?

Thanks!

You can still get AutoCAD2012 via the Autodesk Virtual Agent    Do not be concerned that it does not say "Trial", all Autodesk software installs as a 30 day trial until/unless activated.

I can't answer your question about what will/will not run on Vista, someone else will have to help with that.

I would make a small wager that 2015 will run on your machine.

Why not download the trial and, well, run a trial test?

Friend, upgrade your OS for around $100 and be safe: you can't buy AutoCAD 2012 no matter how hard you tried/begged.

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk/AutoCAD Forums !

+1 with Pendean

Your ACAD 2012 will run better with Win Seven but not with Win 8.x ...

 Actually,  Purchasing AutoCAD with a Maintenence Subscription will get you license to use 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012, but OP would have to hurry... that option is set to end on Feb 1 2015.
