student version

One of the office computers had a student version of 2020 installed. Suddenly it stopped working and when I tried to download and reinstall failed.
Happened to someone here maybe?

Thanks for notifying Autodesk that your office is violating licensing at your office: hope the boss is happy 🙂

In fact, I recently bought a license - I wanted to test an upgrade without removing an earlier version

Definition of Educational Purposes:

"Generally “Educational Purposes” means (i) in the case of a Qualified Educational Institution, Faculty or Other Authorized Educational Licensees, purposes directly related to learning, teaching, training, research and development that are part of the instructional functions performed by a Qualified Educational Institution or Other Authorized Educational Licensee and (ii) in the case of Students, purposes related to learning, training, research or development. “Educational Purposes” does not include commercial, professional or any other for-profit purposes.

In the case of needing to test Autodesk software before purchase, a trial is what should be used. Autodesk trials are available for a limited time usually 30 days, allowing you to run the full software version.

Hi Natasha,
Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention.
I will check with the student working on the computer in question what his or her future needs will be and act accordingly.
