Web access to Autocad for Educational License for distance learning COVID-19

[griebm]

Our students have Chrome Books but are not able to install and use Autocad with the educational license. Please consider providing free access to the web interface of Autocad to allow continuation of instruction.

Hi @griebm, 

Welcome to the Autodesk Community, and thank you for posting your question here in the AutoCAD forum! To better support customers facing the new reality of work remotely or attending classes remotely, Autodesk has introduced a temporary Extended Access Program for several of our flagship cloud collaboration products, including BIM 360 Docs, BIM 360 Design, Fusion 360, Fusion Team, AutoCAD Web and Mobile, and Shotgun. This program allows for free commercial use of the participating products until May 31, 2020. 

Typically, the commands and tools in the AutoCAD web app are only available to AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT subscribers and are not available to students. During this Extended Access Program, all commands and tools in the AutoCAD web app are available for everyone. 

Here are some additional resources to help you get started:
