Autocad LT 2007 Registration and Activation Code

[brucef]

I am located in Australia and the company I work for purchased a copy of Autocad LT 2007 through eBay from a seller in the United States. When I try to register the software online I receive a message telling me that the software cannot be registered in Australia "Registration Activation Error (7)". The Autodesk Registration an Help websites just take me around in circles. Is there a solution to this problem? Bruce F

Welcome to the Forums

Never buy software off ebay. You are most probably buying either a)A pirated copy or b)A second hand copy.

Contact ebay to get your money back and then try and find an Authorised seller in Australia.

Software is also regional: USA packages can't be authorized outside of North America.

Get a refund and pay attention next time. Find an Australian solution instead.

you can't buy real copies of 2007 anymore

the only version you can buy is 2015

i also recommend reading the license agreement: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=10235425

Hi Dean, I supepected as much. I have been using Autodesk products for years and know how they operate. I have recentloy joined a new company where my new boss wanted me to do some drawing work. As it is not really part of my new role he wanted to keep the cost of purchasing software down. I will just have to convince him to purchase a legit copy . Thanks for yours and and everyone elses replies. Cheers, Bruce.

There are cheap as well as free cad programs out there including many that do well with DWG files: worth trying, just read their EULA to ensure your environment is approved for that software's use.

I have 2007 that I bought in 2007 and I have installed it on every new computer 

that I have purchased.

I recently purchased a new laptop and when I try to get a new verification code on line
that the software is no longer supported. 

What's the deal? I paid for the software, it is genuine.

AutoCAD/LT2007 is not supported in Win10, which means Autodesk is not interested ever in helping with any issue, it does not mean anything else you might read into "supported" http://autode.sk/1IY4C2X

Autodesk killed off reauthorizing of 2010 and older software as of August 31 2019 (includes 2007LT), read all about it here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/previous-ver...

Sorry, you missed the deadline. There is nothing you can do about it today. If you still have your old Win7/XP PC and all works well, hang on to it for as long as it will last, then figure out a new option if you are unable to join Autodesk Subscription for newer software.

If you find Autodesk software subscriptions too expensive, there are many other CAD packages out there with no subscription options (initial cost may still be comparably high) that you can go get and use.
