AutoCAD 2006 Registration Reactivation

I am writing on behalf of my partner, who uses AutoCAD 2006 for theatrical set design. He recently encountered a window asking him to reactivate the product, with a license status [11.1.6020]. Working through the subsequent screens resulted in Registration-Activation Error (204). We can't find any information, phone numbers, email addresses, or website locations that would help us proceed. Can anyone help us find out how to reactivate the product?

Autodesk ended automatic reauthorizing of 2010 and older (including 2006) software as of August 31 , 2019, read all about it here https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/simplecontent/content/previous-ver...

Sorry, you missed the deadline.

If you still have your old Win7/XP/NT4 PC and all works well, hang on to it for as long as it will last, then figure out a new option if you are unable to join Autodesk Subscription for newer software. If you find Autodesk software subscriptions too expensive, there are many other CAD packages out there with no subscription options (initial cost may still be comparably high) that you can go get and use.

Thank you for the quick (if disappointing) response. If you think of any other options for him to continue using AutoCAD 2006, with which he is very familiar, we would appreciate hearing them. The learning curve for and cost of a more recent version seem prohibitive.
