I am not able to install the 64 bit AutoCAD 2011 on the 64 bit Windows 7 Professional. It is the 64 bit DVD, not the 32 bit DVD. I keep getting the "can not load on this operating system" message. I have turned off all anti-virus, run from "safe" mode, copied the dvd directly to the hard drive and run it from there, etc. |

The DVD is 64-bit and Windows 7 is 64-bit and you get the "cannot load on this operating system" error message?. Begs the question...where did you get the DVD?

| There are two seats purchased from Associated Software Sales in California. Both 64 bit dvds give the same message. I have seen some of the same type problems reported elsewhere, but there have been no solutions or answers. Frustrating. |

May I ask what you paid for each seat of AutoCAD 2012? Did you try calling the company and asking for assistance? Have you tried contacting AutoDesk directly and asking for assistance? I did some checking around and you won't like what I am about to tell you. The Better Business Bureau gave them a grade of "F". Someone on the AutoDesk Discussion Forums website says the company deals in questionable software and warns people to stay away from them. I think you may have an illegal and possibly corrupted version of the program and that's why it is not loading. I looked up the company's website and portions of it just point to a telephone number to call. I'm betting if you do call the number no one will pick up or it is discontinued. If someone does answer I bet you'll get no satisfaction. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Sorry, but you bet wrong. I got satisfaction with absolutly no hassles. The number was called, a RMA issued, the problem software returned, a new set delivered and installed properly. I already did my own checking on them before I bought software from them (multiple times) and no issues were ever found. No complaints. AutoDesk doesn't like this company or others like them, because AutoDesk lost a lawsuit brought against them from someone they were threatening with their lawyers about selling software, so naturally someone at an AutoDesk forum would speak ill advised about this company. Have a good day. |

Well I'm glad to hear that you fared so well. Let's see what happens down the road shall we? Good luck.

Any other company selling AutoCAD is most probably a "gray" sales channel. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |
