Hello,
Last year I crossgraded my seat of Autocad 2005 to Revit Architecture Suite 2008. Today the hard drive on the machine died, so I had re-install everything. When I re-installed Autocad 2005, I had to call Autodesk for a new authorization code. Autodesk would not give me a new code because "lost the license when I crossgraded." I have never hear of such a policy - from Autodesk or any other company. They told me to call my re-seller. I'm waiting to hear back from them.
I've review the purchase agreement. It does not disclose such a policy. This feels like a clear case of fraud. It's kind of like buying a new car. If you're going to trade-in your old car, that's fine. But the dealer must tell you that. Nothing said that I was trading-in my old Autocad.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Henry
P.S. Here is Autodesk agreement on such issues:
