Hi,
 
I use AutoCAD LT 2009 at work but I'm interested in having my own copy for home.
 
The latest 2012 version is over Å1000.  I can make do with 2009 or 2010 or even 2011.
 
Does anyone know any companies selling older versions cheaper than the latest version.
 
I can buy old versions on Ebay but I'm never sure if they are legitimate, plus I want it to be un-registered with Autodesk so I can be the registered owner.
 
Many Thanks
 
Mike

Unfortunately there are no older/cheaper versions of AutoCAD sold legitimately. Usually it is possible to buy a "current but one" version but it costs the same.

Are you a student by any chance?  They qualify for free software from AutoDesk.

No not a student.
 
So what happens to all the un-sold previous versions?

They are destroyed.  It is against AutoDesk's policy for an authorized reseller to sell old software after a new release is issued although I think there is a "small" window (30 days) where it is still permissible.

It could look into buying one of the AutoCAD clones like ZwCad.  Much cheaper.

Thanks for the replys.
 
Think I'll be saving up for a while then.

Have you given any consideration to my suggestion re: AutoCAD clone?  The software pricing on many of these is probably a third of what AutoDesk charges and the software itself is remarkably similar to AC such that you would hardly skip a beat in making the transition.
