Hello

Not sure if this will reach who I want but worth a shot. I been using revit since 2018 just at home as an indepentdant learner,I make no income off this,it was just a hobby. Reason being is Im handicapped, there is no school near me that uses this program and I cant fly to one. Recently autodesk has this new verify thing and Ive lost access  any help be great

@Anonymous Welcome to the Autodesk forum!

I found the following thread that looks like it may be on a similar issue: Trouble with Student Verification

I'm seeing a link to the EDU licensing support here: https://www.autodesk.com/education/support/edu-contact-us-form

Also, a suggestion to use the following link and request a product to get to the verification site:  https://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/featured

I would suggest trying the second link first, and if you run into difficulties with the verification process, use the first link above to report the issue.

Have you used the Contact Us link to report your situation?

I think this is what you might be referring to. If not, can you please provide clearer explanation of what you are looking for? your request is a bit vague.

the free software is only for schools, teachers, students

Autodesk doesn't offer free licenses for hobbyists that want to use revit

student,not in a school....i cant register for any school due to this covid
19. your asking me to verify well i cant at the moment,this was purely a
hobby of mine and now you saying i cant?

i cant get into a school due to covid 19

sadly I do think that is the case. The student licenses are for high school and college enrolled students and instructors. It is great that you want to learn. But sadly a few bad apples have ruined it for everyone. Too many people were taking advantage of the program so Autodesk had to put some stricter controls on the educational license.
