How did you get Autodesk Inventor?

I' ve wondering how everyone makes these designs on the computer and all that. I' ve got it narrowed down to what you use is AutoDesk Inventor. I find out that it costs $5195. so how did you get it.

Also on the same subject can you use it to make the animations?

Thanks guys

Re: How did you get Autodesk Inventor?

If I remember correctly you get them in the kit. I know we have many copies from the years before that we have participated. Ask the person on your team who ran the checklist. He might have found some software, and if he/she did not find software check the year before, and every year before that, and you should find a copy. Our team has copies of Inventor 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, and copies of 3ds Max. I nkow we did not buy them, except for version 4.

Thanks for the heads up man. I was wondering about that. I'll have check up on what happened in the past with those programs.

Re: How did you get Autodesk Inventor?

I believe it is mailed to your sponsor. I can't remeber 100%, but they came at about the same time as the kit.

Re: How did you get Autodesk Inventor?

Autodesk Inventor is not made to do the animations for award submission... however... I do recall using some of the drawing files of the robot and such for use in the animation. As for animation, we use the 3D Studio Max software that should also be provided to your team. Hope this helped!

Re: How did you get Autodesk Inventor?

Every team was shipped a "preseason kit" with Autodesk Design Acadamy (AutoCad, Inventor, etc) with 25 licenses and Discreet 3D Studio Max.

*pause*

You got 25 licenses? I was under the distinct impression that we only got one. I know we only got one serial number and CD key. I suppose I didn't read any fine print anywhere to see if we had license to install it multiple times. But still. 25 licenses is a LOT.

Yes, but I believe it is only for the ADA, not 3DS. Anyway, there is only one serial and key, but when you go to register it, Autodesk has to give you an authorization code (by email). There are 25 of these.

EDIT: It gets mailed to whoever your main contact is in the TIMS (Team Information Management System).

Re: How did you get Autodesk Inventor?

The software (at least for our team) was mailed to our sponser, Siemens. However, I know our mentor had to put some serious effort into figuring out who in Siemens actually got the package before it came to us, your best bet is to ask your mentor/sponser. While the software is a part of the 'kit', it is not physically in the kit, Autodesk mails all of the software themselves, only furthing the unfortunate division between FIRST and the animations...

Also, the 25 liscenses are "network liscenses", so if you want you can install it on every computer on your school network, but you can only have 25 copies of it open simultaniously. However, if you have one student on your team with a very powerful computer, you can only have it on that computer (unless he brings his computer to your network...).
