Hello Apparently there is a downside to the internet service. The reasons are actually not entirely clear. Try downloading the required software from the virtual agent http://autodesk.creativevirtual15.com/autodesk/bot.html?isJSEnabled=1&businessArea=Root.Front%20Desk Download Links> Select Product> Select release. regards Juan Sarmiento

I am also having issues downloading the student version of AutoCAD 2016 on my Windows 10 (home) laptop, but the virtual agent did not solve these issues.  My firewall is turned off and UAC has been disabled.  Using the Autodesk Virtual Agent I have tried both AutoCAD 2016 64-bit as well as AutoCAD Architecture 2016 64-bit.  About halfway through the download, it abruptly stops and says "Failed -- creativevirtual15.com".
