Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package

[phi.naught]

According to an FRC email a couple of month back, Autodesk was supposed to start shipping software to teams at the end of October. Has anyone received anything?

My team is in serious need of some pre-training. Who should I contact to get the software ASAP?

[Pat Fairbank]

There was another email blast (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40337) a few weeks ago that said that Autodesk was delayed in shipping the software, and that it would only be shipped starting Monday, Nov. 7.

So if Autodesk did in fact start shipping then, I reckon teams should be getting their software very soon (we haven't gotten ours yet, as far as I know).

Just got an email, that is shipped today.

[Mark McLeod]

We also received the shipping email.

[WebWader125]

We haven't received any email yet :(

Seems like it will be a bit tight if you're trying to get the safety animation to FIRST by Dec 15.

[lukevanoort]

We didn't even get the safety animation e-mail

[Manoel]

Received the e-mail with tracking number today, as well.

Thanks for the info. I will call FIRST on Monday if I haven't received the shipping confirmation email yet.

I am new to Inventor and Auto CAD, so I will be asking a lot of questions as I mentor my students in the following weeks!

Team 1318 received Inventor 10 Friday! I'm excited to see what new tools are available in the new release, but I haven't pried it out of the hands of the mentor who got to it first yet, so I guess I'll have to wait a few more days. :rolleyes:

EDIT: fixed spelling mistake

[sanddrag]

How many seats come with it this year? I have heard that network installation is difficult.

EDIT: Guess no one clicked the link in my post here huh?

[Ellery]

I believe we have less licenses this year at 10-15 seats.

[Vu2000]

We got it Friday and I remember my mentor saying 10 seats.

1549 received theirs today....right after class.

[twolf]

Team #1336 received ours today! FINALLY!

[Andrew Blair]

In a second query to a question in sanddrag's link, is autocad included in addition to inventor, or just inventor this year?

[527point]

we got autocad mechanical 2006 with it but i couldt tell if it was a trial or included because our inventor cd came broken so i couldnt install it

[David Guzman]

Team 1251 received their software today. Everything looks good but we will be installing tomorrow.

[Andrew Blair]

Good, we get autocad. Thats what we do all our cnc drawings on.

[scitecteach]

We got it Friday. We need the training also.

[CraigHickman]

Our team got it... but the install seems a little... well, tricky. I pick a single lisense, and it wants me to make it a network lisense. so I do that, and it won't sync up with the fabled FLEXnet lisense server... anyone else have some trouble with this? Anyone who can help would be much appreciated... PM's or emails to craigih@pacbell.net would be even more appreciated.

I started a thread discussing this yesterday, because I'm having the exact same problem.

I'll be watching the problems thread...

[Squirrelrock]

1293 had theirs on Thursday night. So we got it...sometime before that.

[Koko Ed]

We got ours on Wednesday and can only install 3D Studio Max on our video computer because it's the only one that reads DVDs (Autodesk seems to assume that everone has a DVD on their computer, when we have teams in FIRST that can barely afford to simply exist much less get a top line computer every time they make a new version of their programs. Way to go Autodesk).

[Adam Richards]

We've got ours, but some of the CDs were cracked :( . We've sent away for some new ones.

[Capt.ArD]

yeah, about max 8, There is a card in the box that has a website where you can order CDs of MAX. We got 5 free copies of the software, 1 per licence. Alternatively, if the computers you have are networked, copy the dvd using the one computer to a shared folder and install on the other computers from there. Just make sure to delete it when you are finished.

Inventorwise, the inventor guy on my team can't get it to work either. it gets abut 50% done and says something like "rolling back installation". Then the progress bar goes backward! We think his laptop is possessed, and is rejecting the shiny goodness of Inventor.
