Reinstalling AutoCad LT 2016 free trial after system restore

[Anonymous]

Yesterday I downloaded and installed AutoCad LT 2016 free 30-day trial.  It was working but I had other problems with my computer and had to run a system restore to point prior to AutoCad installation.  Now I am unable to download again.  How do I get the software to download again so I can complete my trial period?

Hi @Anonymous Welcome to Autodesk Community!

Were you trying to download from Autodesk website? Please try downloading the software from our Virtual Agent (click on Download Links, choose product and version).

Hello @Anonymous

You should be able to download from Autodesk Virtual Agent click through the links to the download section of the product you need.  It will download in parts.  When you extract or just double click Part 1 you will be prompted to extract to C:\Autodesk (preserve this location). Once the extraction is finished the installation should start...from that point on it is straight forward

However; due to Windows Restore; you may experience an unexpected termination/expiry of Trial Period. THIS POST HERE on AutoDesk Forum seems to have had the same issue. However; if you are not a student; you will not be entitled for that option!

Should this reply help in resolving the installation issue; please mark is with ACCEPT AS SOLUTION

You will not be able to run the trial version for free for 30-days regardless: your actions look like a software piracy attempt to circumvent the 30-day period.

Whether that was your intention or not no longer matters: no 30-day trial is possible ith that exact Autodesk software on that one PC anymore.

Dean is exactly right.  There will be no way for you to reset to a new trial.  This is by design.  You will need to install onto another machine if you wish to use the trial.

I have a trial version of Autocad LT 2013 on my Mac. I got my OS updated and then downloaded a trial of Autocad 2016 on the same Mac BEFORE removing the 2013 trial. Now when I try to complete the installation of the 2016 version it says I have another Autocad open. How can I delete the 2013 so I can try the 2016 version?
