When I come to https://registeronce.autodesk.com it calls me to contact support that I have a technical issue or when I open my AutoCAD 2018 a I click on button Activate and Activate online it calls me another issue.

Hello @Anonymous,

Welcome.

Sorry for the frustration. If you are connected to a limited network environment try another network/wifi environment. If you have access to a cafe or private network try that. Also please take a look at 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 should not 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. 
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
