Problemi installazione Building Design Suite Premium 2015 / Installation problems with Building Design Suite Premium 2015

Sto cercando inutilmente di installare il software su un nuovo laptop con windows 11.

al termine dell'installazione compare l'errore contenuto nello screenshot allegato.

L'assistenza Autodesk mi ha indirizzato qui. Qualcuno mi sa per cortesia suggerire una soluzione?

Grazie

2015 version does not support Windows 11

Perhaps if you can downgrade to Windows 10?

I'm no expert, but I don't think it's possible. I'm installing it on a newly purchased laptop with Windows 11 preinstalled.

Then it looks like you have the following options:

1) pay subscription for latest AutoCAD or Revit which installs fine on Windows 11

2) purchase a computer that has Windows 10 installed so you can install the older 2015 BDSP version

3) look for computer technician that can help you downgrade your Windows 11 OS to Windows 10 so you can try installing 2015 BDSP

After successful installation then you can upgrade it back to Windows 11 and hope that 2015 BDSP still runs...

here's another recent thread has similar discussion but with AutoCAD 2015 and Windows 10 vs 11

If I can downgrade to Windows 11, will Autodesk then send me the activation codes?

That's going to be another hurdle since Autodesk ended support and activation for 2015 back in March of this year:

Non resta che promuovere una classe action contro Autodesk per sospensione di licenze vendute come perenni

Whip out a credit card and hire a lawyer: no one has ever won in 40+years but your luck will be very different I'm sure.

Alla fine, insistendo adeguatamente con valide motivazioni, il supporto Autodesk invia ancora i codici di attivazione er i prodotti 2015. Ho quindi creato una partizione win10 sul laptop e installato e attivato la suite 2015. Ringrazio Paul Li per il prezioso supporto.
