Student installation on a windows 8 laptop

[ep18]

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop with Windows 8, I need to download the student version of AutoCAD 2015.

I have tried and tried to download and install the software but it doesn't seem to be working how can I get it to install properly?

I have a test at uni towards the end of this month and must have CAD installed asap to get practising.

HELP!

thanks...

have you tried to download from here:

You can access most current + previous supported version Browser Download links (including the Design & Creation Suites) through Matt, Autodesks Virtual Assistant.
http://knowledge.autodesk.com/topics/account-management/software-downloads/download-methods/virtual-...
Please accept as a solution if this fully resolves the issue

and what does it doesn't seem to be working mean exactly?

but by it doesnt work i mean, it seems to download but then i get an error message (i would have to try downloading it again to get the exact wording) saying that there was an issue with the installation.

Hi @ep18,

If this download doesn't work either please try the following troubleshooting steps:

• In the preferences or options area of your preferred browser, remove pop-up blockers and allow access to all *autodesk.com sites.
• In the preferences or options area of your preferred browser, delete cookies, temporary internet files, and history.
• Turn off your personal firewall or VPN, if you use one.
• Disable UAC
• Close and reopen your preferred browser.
• Re-download from the Virtual Agent

If the problem persists after that please provide a screenshot of the exact error you are seeing that we can further investigate. Thank you!
