Hi, I just downloaded the free software "autoCAD" for students and a serial number doesn t work when I try to activate my software. I get this error message: The serial number you entered is not valid. Try again. (1),
Hi mh187273,
Are you trying to Activate AutoCAD for MAC? If so, once you are in the Activation Page choose the option, "I want to Activate this using the 30 day Period". Once done, launch the software and Activate.
To Activate, please click here for Online Self Help or you can click on the "I still need help button" for further assistance needed.
No, it is autocad for 32 bit windows. I have serial number and request code. It is also invalid when I try to activate it manualy.
Hi mh187273,
Please Private Message me (click on my joane.bonghanoy profile name and then “Send this user a private message) your Serial Number and Request Code.
I will check on it on my end and manually generate the Activation Code.
I'm having this problem myself at the moment on my Mac...i've visited the autodesk care page that i've been directed to and tried to solve the issue by following its instruction however, i don't see any option to 'installing in trial mode' anywhere? i'm simply asked to 'choose version', 'language' and 'operation system', then theres just a browser download icon.
any help would be great!?
thanks
Hello Rosemary and welcome to the forums!
The steps that you had previously described (choose version, language, operation system, and browser download) are those needed to initiate the download process from within the Education Community. Where you able to download the software by clicking on the browser download button?
Once downloaded, opening the .dmg (Mac) will start the installation process at which point you will either be able to input the licensing information of install as a trial.

Hi Rowan,
In this instance you will need an activation code to manually override the system, of which I'd be happy to generate for you. Please send me a Private Message (click on my philip.s profile name and then "Send this user a private message") with the corresponding request code and serial number.
Please note that for future reference you can also receive an activation code directly from our Registration and Activation team by clicking here.
