Error Code 62 on installation

ianlitterbach — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 04:43:18 GMT

Hi all.

I am trying to install AutoCad 25 trial version. I previously had it working but I had the trial program unistalled to enable installtion of a previous version I used to own outright. My old version can no longer be installed and autocad can't offer supprort for a product of that age. Now I have no working autocad and when I try to re-install the trail version (still has 15 days left) it fails with code 62. It takes an enormous amount of time even time I attempt to download. Any magic fixes out there? Thanks

You cannot reinstall a trial on that machine as it will be expired. You will likely need to either 1. Install the trial onto another machine, or 2. download an AutoCAD 2025 trial in a different flavor... like Mechanical.
