reinstalling revit after reinstalling windows

Anonymous
Not applicable

After I restored my Asus computer to an earlier date, it is not allowing me to restart it.  At this point my only option is to reset my PC recommended by Microsoft, which will require me to reinstall windows.  If this happens I will loose Revit and CAD.  Can I reinstall Revit and CAD after I reinstall windows with the same license.  I am using the student version.  Please let me know because I do not want to loose my Revit and CAD programs

Yes you can reinstall and activate with no issue or impact to your current student license.

Hello @Anonymous, 

 

As @Mark.Lancaster mentioned, you can use the same license without a problem. Just visit your Autodesk Account & use the serial number & product key to activate. 

 

Hopefully, the re-set goes well.

I am thinking of returning the computer and getting a new one since I also have problems with the graphics card. would I still be able to use the same license on a new laptop or would the re installment of Revit work only on the current laptop.

Hello @Anonymous, 

 

Oh sorry to hear that. The license will work on any of your computers, it is not device specific. The license is tied to your Autodesk Account credentials. 

 

Just fyi, when looking for a computer to run your Autodesk software review the Autodesk system requirements  & look into the recommended graphics hardware from the manufacturer for the application.

 

Best of luck, let us know if you have any more questions. Smiley Happy
