Who said we had to install? I don't know... the governor? It's no secret we are in a crazy time... just a few weeks ago we were calmly working on updating some standards and working on efficiency... now we are scrambling to react to a new way for everything. Users are spread between young guns with good machines at home, who can handle upgrades with ease.... to 60+ "well seasoned" users, on home laptops they use to skype grandkids, who panic if their icons move and are still cursing outloud and this fraking ribbon thing.....
The simplest, and least contact solution, was to tell everyone to just download the demo for the version we have licensed (in this case Autocad Architecture). Get it installed, test it out, and if it works well we can go ahead an log in once you've shut down your office machine. It's my understanding you get up to 3 simultaneous installs, so long as only (1) is used at a time and its all used by the same user (although its a whole other issue, that for the good of the industry, autocad should seek to lesson those restrictions temporarily while we all sort this all out).
I'm not asking for much. Just the same as i'm asking for everyone... Slow down, communicate with people, and like i teach my Cubs... Do Your Best.
