Revit Educational License Activation

[Leighton.Ben]

Hi all,

I have just set up an educational license for Revit 2021 to use for uni. I have downloaded it without issue, but when I go to activate the license, I cannot find my serial number anywhere. I haven't received an email about it, nor can I find the information on the autodesk website where it usually is for purchased versions of the software (see attached screenshot). Does anyone have any idea where I can find the serial number. 

Cheers

Autodesk no longer provides serial numbers for edu licenses its all based on signing in

Today’s students are the future of design and engineering. At Autodesk, we believe in ensuring that future by granting easy access to the same tools used by the world’s leading professionals. On August 4, 2020, we will stop granting plans based on serial numbers and are launching a global Education plan for eligible students and educators that is based on people.

This new Education plan is designed for named users, offering a more personalized experience and a range of additional benefits:

• Free access to desktop, cloud, and web and mobile products and services through the Education Community
• A single, once-a-year renewal date for access to Autodesk software and services
• Improved Education Community “get product” experience in 11 languages
• Continuing access to distance-learning content and curriculum, and multi-channel help and support

With our free Education plan, eligible students and educators can access Autodesk software and learning tools to build the skills and knowledge needed to begin a meaningful career.

I have a follow-up question:

My education access is still valid. When I sign in on my account, the personalized banner clearly says that my access is valid until January 2022. But when I open Revit 2021, it tells me that my education access has expired.

How can I resolve that issue?

All -- I'm having this issue as well. I get an "access expired" message but the site has: "

Hi Elisabeth,

Your educational access to Autodesk products is valid through November 8, 2023. Choose a product below."

What can I do?

Has anyone had this issue fixed? I'm currently experiencing this with Revit 2023
