Need AutoCAD LT R15 to revive R15 project that fails upgrade

Because Revit upgrades from older versions and I needed the hard drive space, I deleted my licensed copy of Revit LT 2015. But, I have a 2015 project that crashes in the upgrade. I would like to download 2015 to attempt to load it in its native version, then audit it and upgrade it from there. I have the subscription for Revit Suite (whatever they call it this week), but the online access to past versions only goes back to 2016.

Did you login with your account at manage.autodesk.com?  It should still be there as I can download our 2014 and 2015 Revit LT versions.

Are you Maintenance or Subscription, @Anonymous?   

 

...I'm only able to access back to 2017.  Maintenance -- which means I legally own and can use every version I ever purchased.  

 

@dc : talk to your Reseller.  They may be able to help you out.

Maintenance.  Oh...being on subscription only shows the last 4...oops.  Just checked my Revit subscription and it only goes back to 2017.

 

Well...hmm...   @dc ...I can download the installer and try to place it on my google drive when I get home this evening and I'll PM you the link.  I can't dropbox it here at work, as we have it blocked.

I looked there. I can only see back to 2016.

I know this would be a beoch if it didn't work, but what about installing the 2016 and trying to upgrade 2015 to that that version and then trying to upgrade to the most current version from there.  We don't often upgrade legacy projects from that far back, but I do seem to recall issues in the past.  Autodesk does suggest upgrading sequentially.

The problem is solved. My colleague tried the upgrade with 2018 and it succeeded. I had tried 2016, thinking that a too big a step might not work.

Thanks to all for your interest and suggestions.

Glad you got it sorted out.   It is always a pain when a project doesn't update correctly.  I've gone from 2015 to 16, then to 18 because it was just being that finicky from 15 to 18.
