Could anyone tell me whether or not it is possible to do a trial of Inventor without installing it on your computer?
I am considering doing some work at a company that uses Inventor, and would like to do a trial of if ahead of time. However, I am a Mac user at the moment, without a PC on which to install a traditional trial copy.
Is it possible to do a trial of Inventor using an online version that runs in a browser? If this is difficult or not possible to do (as a trial), can anyone advise on success to be expected doing something like installing Inventor on an Amazon WorkSpace and running it from there?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You could try using VMWare image or Virtual PC to install Inventor trial version, but you do need to have the OS image to begin with.
Thanks!
I am really hoping there is some other way to do it than that.
I really don't want to go to all the trouble of installing several applications and a new OS just to try one software. There's also the matter of hard drive space, which I'm running low on as an SSD user.
I thought there was a web browser version of Inventor. Is it not good and/or available to try as a trial? Although I have seen several announcements of the product (like in the link above), I have not been able to find much current information on it. Not even on Autodesk web site.
I could install Inventor on an Amazon Workgroup (virtual Windows machine), but I am suspicious that the 3D performance won't be adequate. Would love to hear if anyone else has had experience with that though.

It's Inventor and not Inventor, it does have a small app that installs on your local machine.
