Students can get AutoCAD for free! How to Download AutoCAD and other Autodesk software. Sign in with your username.

Hello vineetthakur, What error messages are you receiving from AutoCad? I would imagine that earlier versions of AutoCAD would have problems with a newer operating system such as Windows 8. However, usually, if an application works on Windows 7 it will 'usually' work on Windows 8. After all Windows 8 is still based on the Windows 7 kernel.

Have you tried compatibility mode? Locate the AutoCAD install/setup.exe file and right click on it.

(You will need to view the files in File explorer rather than auto run the CD.) 2. From the drop down menu, click on the Properties option. In the properties Window, click on the Compatibility tab. When the Compatibility tab opens look for the section marked 'compatibility mode.' You will see an option marked 'Run this application in compatibility mode for.'

To the left of this option is a box. Click on this box to insert a check mark (tick). The default compatibility mode is Windows XP SP3.

To change this, click on the down arrow to the right of the words Windows XP SP3. A list of operating systems will now appear. From the list, select Windows 7. You could also try an earlier versions such as Vista if you like.

Finally press the OK button. Now click on the install/setup.exe file and it should install in compatibility mode.

If it still refuses to install in compatibility mode you may have to consider buying the latest version of AutoCad. Another alternative is using Virtual Machine software.

However, as AutoCad is a memory intensive program you may find VM software to be slow. This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs. John Barnett MVP: Windows XP Associate Expert: Windows Expert - Consumer: .

Hi This is why the student and paid version are different. Quote 'Student versions AutoCAD is licensed at a significant discount over commercial retail pricing to qualifying students and teachers, with a 36-month license available. The student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full commercial version, with one exception: DWG files created or edited by a student version have an internal bit-flag set (the 'educational flag'). When such a DWG file is printed by any version of AutoCAD (commercial or student), the output includes a plot stamp / banner on all four sides. Objects created in the Student Version cannot be used for commercial use. Student Version objects 'infect' a commercial version DWG file if imported.'

ENDQUOTE All the best Brett. Seems like you can download autocad free. You have to be student and have to be a member of the autodesk site. I didn't get further than this since i am not a member. If you register with autodesk, you can dl trial versions and stuff from their site. Autocad 2006 won't work with 64 bit. Looks like only autocad 2010 and higher work with 64bit.

However, you can use compatibility mode and select windows xp to run it. Or you can use windows 7 (version dependent) xp mode to run autocad 2006. Another helpful thread: and these: @the dude talking about the p-word.
