Reactivating AutoCAD LT 2007

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have been using my AutoCAD LT 2007 on Windows 10 without issues, but now it suddenly requires reactivation.  My License is a PERPETUAL License, but I am told by Ava-request that Autodesk  has "stopped supporting 2010 and earlier products including reactivation and product downloads".  It will now cost  $50 a month or $400 a year for my occasional use of AutoCAD LT.  I do not need support; why deactivate my program when I have a perpetual license?  Do others have this problem, and what is a reasonable solution?

Your AutoCAD/LT2007 is not supported in Win10, which means Autodesk is not interested ever in helping you with any issue, especially since Win10 is what is breaking the licenses these days http://autode.sk/1IY4C2X

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

But... the licensing team can decide when a reactivation code can be granted and to whom. So open a ticket with the Licensing support and explore all the options they offer https://knowledge.autodesk.com/contact-support/installation-activation

If you still have your old Win7 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.

I have same issue with my 2008 AutoCAD LT version. Were you able to resolve? If so, what did you do?

Google "PROGECAD".  A very great alternative.
