Hello @tstrange2018,
In that case, you are a part of the educational program. Please visit the Autodesk educational website & follow the Steps for Setting-Up Student Software. Students of qualified educational institutions need to go through the process & locate their downloads on that site.
Let us know how it goes.

Hello @tstrange2018,
No you don't need to, although I am not sure where you downloaded the applications & I can not verify them.
Next time please, download them from the Autodesk.com Educational site.
For each product & version you wish to have access to & receive in your Autodesk Account visit the "Free Software" page & select it from the drop-down the activate information will appear below. Your serial numbers & product keys are available in your Autodesk Account under the "Management" tab information will appear in your Autodesk account in 24-72hrs, you will also receive an email right after setting this up.
Let us know if you have anymore questions.
