I can't link or create a AREA account

Hello, 

 

I cannot create or link an area account to my Autodesk ID. When I click login, I get the pop up to link or create a new account.

 

Regardless of whether I click link existing account or create new account, the page just reloads. I have treid different computers, different browsers, and I have cleared cookies and cache. 

 

I want to download some of the tutorial assets but cannot do that without a login. 

 

I am at a loss as to what I should try next. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi @cwthomasart@Gnarg@thesnostorm, and @gui_311,

 

Welcome to the community!

Sorry to hear about the issue. Could any of you provide links to where you are trying to link your account from and screenshots? All of you posting in this forum symbolize that you have and area account, which is created by default when you purchase a subscription or create an Autodesk Account.

Hi @Anonymous and welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

I'm working with the Area team to have your accounts linked. I'll let you know as soon as I have more information to share.

 

Thank you for your patience while we work on this.

Every time I try to download a plugin I get a prompt saying I need to login before I can download, but I'm already logged in. I thought it was an issue of needing an Autodesk AND Area account, so whenever I would try to create an Area account after I logged in, the page would just refresh and nothing would happen.

Hi all,

Same. I've been pulling out my hair this morning trying to get access to AREA and seem to be stuck in an infinity loop.

Tried different browsers even setting up a new account.....no joy.

Just wanted to access Area to download a Maya shader.

 

Regards

Rob

Thank you. Is there any way you could e-mail me the Maya Bonus Tools 2011 [Win64] Plug-In? That's the main thing I was trying to download but couldn't and I really need it.

It's not fixed for me. It won't "link" my Autodesk account, and won't let me create an AREA account, on any browser.
All I wanted was bonus tools for Maya, which USED to be easy to get.

I am having the same problem.  This looks really bad for a tech company. I am too frustrated to continue.  Best of luck.
