Downloading Autodesk Installation Files

Autodesk Account is your first place to find downloads of software and updates. For most releases, you should find the current release and the three most-recent previous releases there, assuming you have permission from your account administrator to do so. But sometimes you need something older than that; Autodesk Assistant, the successor to AVA, should allow you to get the current release and the five most-recent previous releases.

Here is an example of how to use the Autodesk Assistant.

• Go to https://manage.autodesk.com/home and sign in with your Autodesk Account.
• In the lower right corner of the browser window, there should be a "speech bubble" icon. It may take a few moments to appear. It looks like this:
  
• Click on the bubble to open Autodesk Assistant. On Screen 1, choose Post-purchase support. On Screen 2, select Downloads.
  
• On Screen 3, choose Download Software. On Screen 4, choose Find a product download.
  
• On Screen 5, use the edit box to type in the name of the software you wish to download. A list of matching items will be generated. When you see the one you want, select it and continue to follow any prompts to download it. You can enter a specific release name, but if it is not available, you will be so informed (Screen 6).
  

As you can see on Screen 3, you can also use this process to download Service packs, hotfixes, add-ins, and more. I would recommend using Autodesk Account for the versions it supports, but if you need something a little older, Autodesk Assistant is at your service.
