Good afternoon,

Well I have moved to the paid service from a student version. I can't get the lite version installed. Maxium? Are you there? I have an older mac. Every time I install - the two boxes bounce out of view. Not sure what to do?

 

Thanks, Tricia

PS) My computer might be older but it still work awesome!

@Summertimelandscapedesign  Only AutoCADLT for MAC versions 2021 (and 2020 if you can get it) are supported in your old MacOS version as listed in SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS posted on the Autodesk website that you can look up here

At some point you are going to have to invest in a newer Mac if you plan on continuously paying Autodesk for access to AutoCAD/LT for Mac

Hi Tricia,

@Summertimelandscapedesign ,

 

As @pendean mentioned in his reply, you cannot install latest AutoCAD LT for Mac version on macOS High Sierra, but you can download AutoCAD LT 2021 for Mac from your Autodesk account and install it.

Don't forget to install latest Update after yay install AutoCAD 2021 for Mac

Hello! I tried that one too. It didn't work. Am I missing another install application? It's been more than a year since my last install. I have two boxes that bounce and then disappear ? It asks if it's okay to open from the internet - I saw yes twice - then nothing happens? 

 

It's a good thing AutoCADD has this forum 🙂 Otherwise, I might go back to hand drawing. 😉

I would love a newer mac. I do love my mac computer; however, it's cost prohibitive at the moment. 😉

Hi @Summertimelandscapedesign ,

 

What AutoCAD version are you trying to install?

 

>>>>>It asks if it's okay to open from the internet - I saw yes twice

Actually this warning is normal. You should confirm the launching of the installer.

Can you share screenshot of this alert window?

Good morning Max,

 

I have been trying to upload the 2021 Auto CADD lite version for CADD. I have tried over and over again. The two small boxes start bouncing to start and then disappear. I've done the usual restart the computer etc. 

 

Not sure at this point. I was hoping to install this yesterday. I don't know... ?

Good! Thank you. It needs to stay on topic. By the way, big thanks to Max for trying to help me this morning. However, after trying everything and clearing cookies and cashe and reinstalling - it does NOT install. The network log says that I have to contact the software provider. I have tired. However, no one can use a phone? I can download and use the Italy software for cadd. I can download and use SketchUp. The student versions worked on this computer. 

 

If you want my business, I'll be in business for a long time to come. Please use a phone. It's much easier than a computer! Just pick it up - plug in some numbers - and talk to a real person. At this point, screen shots are not going to work. I need a screen share - Or, I'll buy the other software because so far it's working much better and it's cheaper. 

 

Thanks! Tricia

SOLVED!  There is a either a timing issue or missing code in the download from the user interface page for the 2021 MAC CAD LT. I worked with the teck guy and he sent over a fresh download directly from the browser - and it installed like a snap. It wasn't my computer nor upgrading it etc. 

 

If you are having issues with the LT version, check with tech support for a download directly from the browser. 

 

Fixed, Cheers, 

Tricia

Hi @Summertimelandscapedesign 

Looks like the problem was in wrong DMG installer image, which was placed on the download page in the Autodesk account page.

For now the installer image is updated and installer works fine.
