AutoDesk 2013 Installation Instructions

Due to firewall restrictions, particularly on off-campus and wireless connections, you will need to connect to your campus VPN service before installing and to use this software.

For our example we are installing AutoCad 2013 64-bit. The process to install other AutoDesk software will be similar.

1. Plug the external drive into a USB port on your computer. The below window may autoplay. If not, open the drive manually.
   
   
2. Double click the setup.exe file.
   
   
3. The installation will initialize.
   
   
4. An install window will appear. Select the destination folder and click on Install on this computer.
   
   
5. Accept the license agreement and click on Next.
   
   
6. Select Network as your license type. Select I have my product information and enter the serial number and product key. On the right select Single License Server. Enter the information for the license server. The serial number, product key and license server information was provided to you when you purchased the software. To retrieve this information login to the WebStore and click on Order History. Click on the order number.
   
   
7. When adding in the license server information you may get an error message that the server cannot be found. Click on Yes to the message .
   
   
8. Select the software you wish to install and click on Install.
   
   
9. You will now see an installation window with a status menu and a progress bar.
   
   
10. Click on Finish.
    
    
11. You are now ready to use AutoDesk 2013. Eject the external drive and return it to the Illinois Union Bookstore in the envelope it came in. Due to firewall restrictions, particularly on off-campus and wireless connections, you will need to connect to your campus VPN service before installing and to use this software.
