Solved: Re: AutoCAD 2019 release date

Anonymous · ‎02-15-2018

Does anyone have any idea when the 2019 version of AutoCAD (and the other Autodesk software for that matter) will be released? I have to upgrade my classroom lab and I want to wait for 2019.

Hi,

if anyone knows the release date he/she is not allowed to say anything 😉

In the last year it was somewhere in March, but who knows ...

Thanks. I am trying to figure out when I can get IT in here to help me deploy, and then get the students up to speed so they can take their certifying exams before school lets out in June. Certiport recently switched to a Live in the Application platform for testing (Console 8), and we have 2015 on our computers, which we can't use on Console 8. I don't want to install 2016 so they can take the test and then switch to 2019 over the summer. It would be a waste of time and energy. I had read somewhere that it might be In March, but was just looking for confirmation.

The last 14 years it has been late March, so the best bet would be late March.

You might want to go with 2018 for the time being. Keep in mind that Certiport won't be able to upgrade their testing content until some time after the latest version is released. Typically they will Beta test the new certification versions at Autodesk University (in November)

There is no way, with an end-of-March release date, will you be able to get updated certified testing material in place for June.

but... why don't you go ask them and confirm the plan accordingly https://certiport.pearsonvue.com/Contact-Us.aspx

>>>...don't want to install 2016...<<<
Install 2018 instead.

Good point. Thanks. I am just kind of disappointed that we can't load the test with 2015 software.

My understanding is that certifications are only good for 3 years, so it probably doesn't make sense to certify on a software that is 4 years old.

Before 3 years policy, each certification was labeled with version name. The question is, how the 2019-2021 certification will be differentiated from the 16-18 one? Will older one be removed from ACP search page?

pendean · ‎03-20-2018

You can find out for sure once R2019 is released soon (it's about that time of year now).

WarrenGeissler · ‎03-20-2018

What I've been told is that product certifications will no longer be differentiated by version number (which is good since it appears Autodesk wants to get away from the version numbering system anyway for their software).

The certification exams will only have the product name and your "Current Through" date. They will go inactive after that date.

I just loaded AutoCAD 2017 to all the computers. They will test with that and I will install 20919 over the summer.

They are co-existing on the laptops, which was unexpected. When I get a few desktops installed, I'll uninstall 2015.

That may be for the ACP, but not for ACU exams. I don't see the version specified on the certificates.

Also, the 2016 exam on Console 8 is very different in format as it is live in the application. So you work through the problem and then answer a question related to it. Very different from last year.

Well...I got updated my autodesk desktop app today where Autodesk is saying it is updated the desktop app to receive the 2019 products..
