How to Download Products

If you're downloading software from a site other than Autodesk Account (for example, the Education Community website), the order of these steps may vary. Follow the on-screen prompts.

  1. Choose a download method (Install Now, Download Now, or Browser Download). If the method you want isn't listed, it may not be available for your product, operating system, or browser.
    • Install Now. This method, the default for installation from the Autodesk desktop app, is available for Windows only. It is faster because it lets you select only the products and components you need and starts without waiting for all files to download. Use this option if you are installing on a single computer or installing a trial. (Administrators can't use this method to create a network deployment.)
    • Download Now. Autodesk recommends this method for administrators creating a network deployment and single users installing on several computers.
    • Browser Download. This method downloads a complete installation package from a browser. It is slower than Download Now because it doesn't use the Download Manager. Browser download may sometimes be the only alternative available for single users and for administrators creating deployments.
  2. If prompted, choose your product details, such as language, version, and operating system.

    Most Windows and all macOS operating systems are 64-bit, but you can check your Windows system by going to the System control panel.

  3. If you chose Install Now or Download Now, respond to the prompts:
    • If you chose Download Now, download and install the Autodesk Download Manager (DLM) when prompted. Then use the DLM to download the product.
    • Read and accept the license agreement and click Install. If your browser asks what to do with the installation file, select Run.
    • Autodesk recommends that you accept the default download location and make a note of it.
