Getting AutoCAD LT 2011 onto my computer

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a CD version of AutoCAD LT 2011 but my computer does not have a disk drive so I can not install the software.  Is there a way where I can download Autocad online and use my product key/ serial number to to confirm that I actually have the software purchased?

I  do have an issue downloading the software because I have a CD with autocad on it but no CD drive to put the CD into my computer to let it download.  Is there a way to download AutoCAD LT 2011 online and then confirm my CD purchase of autocad via the serial number/ product key that came with my CD?  Thanks

Get someone with a CD drive to copy the CD to a flash drive.
Or borrow/buy an external CD-drive.

You are not going to find a legit LT2011 download out there.

Also, if your current PC is running Win8 or later, you might have issues getting 2011 to run (or run correctly) on it.

Those options might work, but i finally managed to find an online chat where I could talk to someone and tell them my problem.  They then sent me a link to download AutoCAD LT 2011 and from there I was able to put in my product key/serial number.  The system worked and my problem is solved.  Thanks for everyone's help.

Interesting. Maybe you could post the URL to this download so future readers of this thread can benefit also.
