Well right now those keys aren't worth the paper they are printed on.  You could have downloaded and installed Draftsight on ten computers by now and already be back editing or creating drawings.  You're basically not making any progress at the moment.

As it is a clone Draftsight both reads and writes to the DWG file format so it isn't like you would be unable to open any of your old drawings.

Technically speaking you cannot legally buy old AutoDesk software.

Since LT is primarily a 2D CAD program you could however switch to a 2D AutoCAD clone called Draftsight by Dassault Systemes the makers of SolidWorks.  The program, available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, is FREE to download as well as the Getting Started guide.  OK...it isn't exactly an exact duplicate of AutoCAD but the commands are similar enough that you could be productive very quickly and Dassault has even set up a Draftsight user's forum you could join and ask questions in should you get stuck.  Even though I use AutoCAD I still have a copy of Draftsight on both my work and home CAD computers.
