Where to get older service packs?

randyspear6624 — Fri, 12 Nov 2021 16:59:46 GMT

We are using 2018 but my question applies to any old version... where are we supposed to get these?

Currently service packs only go back as far as 2019. We have users that are just realizing they're still on the original install and their desktop app isn't saying they need any updates. Our IT doesn't keep a repository of updates when they come out. Pretty frustrating.

You can search the internet for downloads. You can find most of them at THE LINK HERE

Thanks, unfortunately all the download links just point back to Autodesk's product update page; which as mentioned doesn't contain 2018 updates any longer.

>>" unfortunately all the download links just point back to Autodesk's product update page"

That isn't the case, so if you say "all" you just mean a part of all,

the question ist: Which?

AutoDesks older ServicePacks (pre 2017 Update1) are available in AKN, you will find them by Google,

Updates for programs which are out of (the normal*) subscription, are your problem. (= I also don't know an official way to download updates when )

normal subscription/ live circle was Current version + the past 3 versions.

(since pandemic it is allows to use the last 5, but without support (except the activation)

; which as mentioned doesn't contain 2018 updates any longer.

I'm not sure what you are clicking on but you need to click on the disk icon that is to the left of the service pack and then click the same disk icon on the download page

@user181

AutoCAD (Win) Update 2018.1 or 2019.1 for example

The 2018 updates were probably recently removed from the autodesk account page and will eventually be on the download page I linked to. Until then if it helps you I can give you a Link to the 2018.1.2 update

Absolutely not, this cadforum repository does not work from my location for some reason.
But I found direct link on some chinese resource already:
https://download.autodesk.com/us/support/files/3dsmax_2014_service_pack_5/3dsMax2014_SP5.msp
I really dunno why Autodesk does it so complicated, really irritating.
