Activation code not responding for Autocad 2017

[Anonymous]

After reinstalling AutoCAD 2017 I tried using my activation code I got the last time, and it doesn't like it. Please advise on how to activate the software.

First may I ask why you are responding to an activation code issue for 2007 when your product is 10 years newer?  Please create your own posting and not hi-jack others.. 

Now to your problem..  What message are you seeing?   Share a screen shot but blur all sensitive information.  Are you a student or do you have a commercial license?

Hello @Anonymous,

You shouldn't need to activate manually with an activation code this is for offline activation, an offline activation is the last resort.

Please try to review the information below: 

How to activate Educational Software

1. Review the Steps for Setting-Up Student Software depending on the download method it will automatically recognize your credentials & sign-in or you manually type in the serial# & product key (you shouldn't need an activation code)
2. Temporarily disable security settings like Antivirus, Firewall & UAC on your Windows operating system
3. An internet connection is required to activate, every 30days you should be connected to the internet at some point (to verify your license & use the software) Adjust your proxy settings, to allow access during the install & first launch, also make sure you have an uninterrupted connection. You can try another Wifi network location
4. If the online method does not work & you need a activate code for offline activation, fill out this form with the educational support team or use Register.autodesk.com
