Installation

Autodesk makes most of their software like AutoCAD and Revit available for free to faculty and students (cool right?).

For the 2013-14 academic year, Marymount is using AutoCAD 2014.
Download AutoCAD 2014 here.

Once you've downloaded and installed the software on your laptop, you'll need to authorize the software with your private serial number provided on Autodesk's download page.

note: If this is your first time downloading software from Autodesk, you'll need to create a new account.
