Hyper-V - virtual PC

[tothferd]

Hello.

To run older programs (very well proven and problem-free) I installed a virtual disk with an older operating system Windows XP 32-bit into Hyper-V. I installed AutoCAD2004 there too, but it asks me for authorization, otherwise it will only run for 30 days. Since virtual machines cannot be connected to the Internet, I selected "Other option" during the authorization process. It said that I should send an e-mail to this address, which I did.

I am normally writing this email from my desktop computer because virtual disks do not have the ability to connect to the network and cannot send an email.

AutoCAD 2004 is long retired and Autodesk stopped providing activations for products starting prior to the 2012 release many years ago, with this threshold increasing with every release year.  You will likely not be able to run this product for more than 30 days at a time.
