  • 1.  Installing Autodesk software

    Posted 03-23-2015 08:15 PM
    Has anyone tried to download and install Autodesk software lately, specifically, Design Suite Premium 2015? I have a reasonable speed internet service but it took 16 hours to download the software more than 50% of which I will never use and 4.5 hours to copy it to the server so that I can install the seats on our computers 1 at a time which took about 8 hrs each. Does anyone have a faster way to does this?

    If you call them, they will send you a USB of the software once they confirm you have an active subscription. It takes a couple of days to receive though.

    But, installing directly to the machine from the USB seems faster as well, rather than across the network. Then you just install the updates. Which you have to download. If there are any.

    If you minimize the install once it gets rolling it seems to go faster I guess because it isn't redrawing that graphics all the time. Still takes a few hours. Will depend on the speed of your machine at this point.
