Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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?

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

There was another email blast 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.

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

We also received the shipping email.

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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.

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

got it friday. need to round up some computers to run it on though

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

I haven't actually seen the package or license agreement but there's this info from a while back. :)

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

Team #1336 received ours today! FINALLY!

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

We got it Friday. We need the training also.

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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.

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

We got ours last week, but haven't tried installing it yet.

I'll be watching the problems thread...

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

got ours on 11/30 in the morning, but the school installer person wont be in fot a while to put it on for us.

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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).

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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

Re: Has anyone recieved their Autodesk package
 

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.
