This will differ depending on the product. The specifications for the software you have chosen will state the system requirements your PC must fulfil.

Once you have completed the ordering process, you will receive an e-mail within +/- 3 working days with a link you can use to access and download the file. Remember where you saved the file on your system as you will need this during the installation.

Once you have downloaded the software, go to the file on your computer. Click on the icon and then on install. Follow the steps in the interface. If this doesn't work, Cadac Group is able to provide installation support, for further information click here.

This will not affect the process in any way. Just try again. If the problem doesn't resolve itself, contact a member of our service team.

Yes, you can use the same code when installing your product. Note that you can only have one working version for which this serial number is being used on the same computer.

Two Autodesk IDs may be in existence for your account. Contact a member of our service team who will be able to trace the problem and resolve it.

An Autodesk Subscription is an Autodesk software subscription that you can purchase flexibly for 3, 12, 24 or 36 months. The length of the subscription may differ depending on the software. The 3month subscription is perfect if you are using the Autodesk software for a particular project.

Subscription customers get benefits, such as access to the latest software releases and product enhancements, Basic Support and, in some cases, access to cloud services.

You can extend a subscription or take out a new subscription via Cadac Store. Subscriptions are new if the same subscription is not about to expire within the next 90 days and has not expired within the last 30 days. You always have the option of taking out a new subscription to extend a current/expiring subscription with the same name and term.

You can find a step-by-step guide here.

Please contact us about this issue. Go to the ‘Service & Contact’ page for information on how to contact us.

Your licence permits you to use the latest version, and allows you to install older versions (up to three generations ago).

This is entirely up to you. When you order your product/licence you choose the length of the subscription yourself. You can choose to automatically renew your licence for the same period at the end of this time. This means that if you buy a licence for 3 years, your licence will automatically be extended for the same period at the end of the 3 years.

The single-user option is intended for individual users. This option is cheaper and the software can be installed (and used) on one computer. The multi-user option is intended for teams and businesses that want to install the software on a network so that several users can use it at the same time.

This makes the multi-user option perfect for flexi-working and large organisations. When you buy the multi-user package, you purchase a specific number of seats that can be used by the company as a whole. If you buy 2 seats, then 2 people within your business can use the software at any one time.

For most desktop products (single-user) with a subscription, you do not have to be online to be able to use your software. The software runs on your computer, not on the web. However, you do need to connect to the internet every 30 days so that we can keep your software up-to-date and can check that your subscription is still valid. You also have to have an internet connection to be able to install and activate the software.

Alongside this, we also offer certain products that are exclusively available as a cloud service. Clearly for products that run in the cloud, an internet connection is always needed.

If you have a single-user licence, this can only be installed on one computer. If you purchase a multi-user licence, it can be installed on a network and used by several people. If you buy 2 seats, then 2 people within your business can use the software at the same time.

Search for ‘system information’ on your computer (you can do this using the search function or via the Control Panel) and then click on ‘System’. If you are using a 64-bit version of Windows, ‘x64-based processor’ will appear in the System type field under System. If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, ‘x86-based PC’ will appear in the System type field under System.

If you are purchasing a new product or a new licence in order to install a newer version of a product, it's best to order the new product first. As the new software will not be available to you straightaway, it's best to wait until you have downloaded the new version (around 3 working days) before removing the old software.

Only remove the old software when the new software starts installing. When you purchase a licence, you are always entitled to the latest versions, so you no longer need to worry about outdated software.

If you want to order an Autodesk or Cadac product and it does not appear in the Cadac Store, contact a member of our sales team via this page.

Try to do the installation again and make sure you haven't left the CAPS LOCK on. If the problem persists, contact a member of our service team.

You will receive automatic notification by e-mail to extend your licence(s). When you receive this depends on the length of your subscription. You can click on a link in this e-mail to then extend your subscription via Cadac Store. It's easier and cheaper to extend your licence automatically.

A transfer of licence allows you to transfer a licence from one company to another, for example to an affiliated company or a subsidiary. To use this service, please contact us.

There are several payment options to choose from at the end of the ordering process. Your payment covers the whole licence period. So, if you are buying a licence for one month, you pay for one month. If you opt for a 3-year licence, you pay the full amount for 3 years upfront. You will receive your invoice with the order confirmation.

Once your order has been received via Cadac Group, you will receive your licence codes from Autodesk via e-mail within 3 working days.
