AutoCAD 2014 not installing Windows 11

[WDPlastics]

I have had to upgrade to Windows 11 and have now found out I can't install my AutoCAD 2014 standalone any longer? I know it’s very old version, but it works fabulously for what I need. Any work around for this?

AutoCA2014 did not even make the Windows10 list (many got it to work just fine more often than not though)

For Win11, try tips (or buy a fix) from websites like this https://longbowsoftware.com/Tips_and_Tricks.php

BUT... R2014 is now on the no-activation list at Autodesk, read about it here https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/previous-version-support/problems-to-star-autocad-lt-2014-on-windows-...

About activation, this might be a very helpful tip for someone but at time of writing I learned of users who found that apparently Autodesk allow one time only activation for users who request "offline activation". 

That link: https://longbowsoftware.com/Tips_and_Tricks.php doesn't work anymore. These are the links for AutoCAD 2014 on Windows 11.

NOTE: They recommend to install 32bit versions of AutoCAD 2014 on Windows 11 because 64bit version is dependent on Windows Components that are often broken by Windows Update/Security updates - 32bit is more reliable.
