Activation

[piotr_kraska_]

Hello and welcome.

We have a license for Autocad 2012, we are a vocational high school and we need to activate this version, because our students will take their vocational exam on it in June 2023.
I am asking for your support in this regard.

not possible anymore

why can't you get the latest version?

Autodesk offers the licenses for free

The school must work on Autocad 2012. Students take their professional exam on this version. We must be able to activate, we have licenses

The requirements need to change. 2012 is outdated. It would be much better for the students to learn on current versions.

Training someone in 2023 on a program that is over 10 years old is a fantastic idea,
who should be punished (the students already were 😔 ).

@piotr_kraska_ My guess is you are a government VOC School with zero budget to upgrade: correct?
And you all don't get paid enough to spend the time/effort retooling to materials: correct?

There is no fix from Autodesk. Sorry. But you can go find free software to get your students through the courses, try one of these similar but more modern tools, perhaps with minimal effort your students might find something useful to create after graduation https://rigorousthemes.com/blog/best-free-autocad-alternative/

Good luck.
