tgarner68 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I had AutoCAD 2014 (full version) on my desktop, and received an upgraded full version of AutoCAD 2016 (company-specific) on a USB drive. I didn't have time to fully install, so I uploaded the upgrade to my hard drive at the time, intending to set it up at a later date. In the meantime, the desktop crashed; I still have the USB drive, but my original setup files are gone. Is there a way to re-install AutoCAD without the setup files, or can I purchase just the setup file for a lower price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Doesn't the full version of AutoCAD 2016 that you have on the USB drive come with its own setup files? Anyhow, you cannot buy "setup files" at a reduced price. It doesn't work that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Sounds a bit fishy we have loaded around 12 Autocads off one USB all fully licensed its the way you download 2016 from Autodesk including Setup around 9GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I had AutoCAD 2014 (full version) on my desktop, and received an upgraded full version of AutoCAD 2016 (company-specific) on a USB drive. I agree with Bigal about this sounding fishy, but here's a simple solution. Just contact the company that supplied you with the USB, tell them what happened and ask them to send you a new USB. And FYI, you don't have to upload the files from the USB to your computer. You can install directly from the USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 A licensed version of AutoCad can be downloaded repeatedly just for such occasions. I lease AutoCad LT 2015, and it is still available for me to download through my AutoDesk account, and new install it right now, on as many computers as I want, as long as no two of them are running at the same time.
