Student license

Hi,

 

I have been using AutoCAD 2014 with my student license, but it has expired a month ago. I want to renew my license as I am still eligible for student license. Can I simply get a new serial and reactivate the product?

 

I was reading that I might need to uninstall then reinstall the software. Can you confirm how to do it in order to keep my drawings?

 

Thank you in advance.

I'm sorry, but it didn't answer my question. Can I get human assistance? 🙂

Welcome to the community..

 

When a student license expires, you have to go back and request a new license.  But it can't be the same version.  Log in and request a newer version here.  Don't worry about losing or migrating any of your files.  Drawings created in AutoCAD 2013-2017 can all be opened in AutoCAD 2013-2017 without any issues or migration process.
