Once logged in to your Educational Access, click on Get product for AutoCad and Revit to download and install the software. 

 

 

 

Clicking on the drop down will bring up two options.  Install and Download.  Only one of these options needs to be completed


Install:  Downloads one install file that will run and connect to Autodesk to download the full package to install.  Keep laptop on, and connected to the Internet.  Best if hard line connection via Ethernet instead of wireless. 

Download: Downloads the full installer package.  Revit is split in to 5 files.  Web broswers by default block multiple downloads at once.  When clicking download, check the top of your browser for this icon and then select Always allow pop-ups.  This will allow all files to be downloaded directly to your laptop.    ​​​​​​​ 

 

 

Locate files that were downloaded, and run to install.  For Revit, click on the file with 001 in it’s name.  This will open the application to exctract, and install all the Revit, or AutoCAD application.​​​​​​​
 

 

Once extraction is complete, the application installer will open.  Follow prompts for install.  Once installed, use your Autodesk log in and pass to use Revit, or AutoCAD. ​​​​​​​
