NEED TO ACTIVATE AUTOCAD 2008

[Anonymous]

I have been using this old version for several years on my current laptop that has the windows 10/64 operating system. All of a sudden, when I open autocad, it is requesting an activation code.  I have literally tried everything to activate the software to no avail.  Please help.

activations are not possible anymore since autodesk stopped all activations for 2010 & older on aug 31, 2019

AutoCAD2008 is not supported in Win10, and its been doing that to old software users like yours recently. "not supported"  means Autodesk is not interested ever in helping with any issues you have in Win10  http://autode.sk/1IY4C2X

Your bigger problem is Autodesk killed off reauthorizing / reactivation of 2010 and older software as of August 31 2019, read about it here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/previous-ver...

Sorry, you missed the deadline. There is nothing you can do about it today. Its too late.
