30 day free trial

Anonymous — Sat, 27 Jan 2018 19:56:35 GMT

I was wondering if someone could help me.

I am wanting to try the free trial of AutoCAD so tried downloading the "30 days free trial". It took a couple of hours to download and at the end it said that the installation was complete and there was a "finish" box that I clicked on. Once I did that the page disappeared as though that was the end of the installation but now I cant find any icon anywhere to allow me to open the software. I can only assume I have done something wrong or I'm just being stupid, but can anyone as I don't want to wait another few hours trying to download again only to have the same issue.

Many thanks in advance

If you are sure that the installation has been done, you should be able to see this path in your windows explorer:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD [YourRelase]

In the folder you should have an executable file "acad.exe".

Double-click it then you should be fine.
