Autodesk Alias Design 2016 download

[Anonymous]

I've downloaded Product Design Suite Ultimate 2016 which has Alias Design listed as a part of the suite.  However, on the installation screen, the installer prompts to download the Alias Design separately from the Autodesk account.  When I login to my Autodesk account, Alias Design is not on the list of available downloads.  

Where do I download the Alias Design installer?  And no, I don't want to use the trial version.  Will my license for Product Design Suite Ultimate 2016 work fine with this app?

Hi @Anonymous,

There are a couple of ways to download Alias 2016. Within your Autodesk Account in the Management Section>Products & Services, go all the way to the bottom and choose Download Products, there should be a download link located in there.

You can also download the trial version and change the serial number in the program to the same as your Product Design Suite Ultimate 2016 one.

Thank you for your response.  I checked the download list under Products and Services but Autodesk Alias Design 2016 is not listed there.  All the suites are listed but not Alias.  

So, I've downloaded Autodesk Alias Design 2016 trial version and installed it.  However, when I want to activate the application with the Product Design Suite Ultimate 2016 serial number, the activation screen tells me the serial number is invalid.  

Well, Autodesk Alias Design 2016 is part of that suite.  I did notice that the Product Key is different from the trial version also but using the Product Key from the suite doesn't work either.  I suspect because the trial version is a stand alone install and we use the licensing manager for all Autodesk products.

This really doesn't make sense.  Suite prompts for online download, there is no download available, and trial version doesn't work.

Hi @Anonymous

The two possible product keys for this activation are 712H1 and 781H1. Are they the ones you tried using?

Thank you,

Yes, those are the 2 product keys I tried.  However, product key 781H1 is a part of the Product Design Suite Ultimate 2016 and the serial number was already activated for the network license so that's why I'm getting an error.  So, really I don't want to activate the Alias install since the serial is in use already with the suite.

Alias Design should be on the same license file as the rest of the suite, so you should be able to simply borrow a license from the server for Alias Design. I see an activation attempt for your serial number but on a standalone basis. Could you try the normal process for network activations if you haven't yet, please?

The license file for the suite was already activated.  There are no options to select network licensing server in Alias.

Hi @Anonymous,

This may sound odd, but could you actually try change the language in your subscription center to English to see if Alias appears as an available download.

Both the account and subscription center are set to English lang.  See the screenshots.

Since I can't use the my current license, I won't use Alias at all.  Very disappointed with this.  Autodesk should fix this issue.

I found My Alias Design from here

https://manage.autodesk.com/ where I logged in with my arc-account and then went to Products->AutoCAD Design Suite Ultimate and Downloads.

This is a bit messy, have to check all the places.
