Also Bricscad is another good low cost alternative. If Autodesk won't be cooperative, there are alternatives to Autocad, like Draftsight which offers a free version or a pro version for a small cost. Skilled4u, was the software purchased through the company account or a personal account? If it was purchased through the company, you may need to contact Autodesk directly to find out what your rights are concerning the software. Then a phone call to Autodesk would be necessary. we are allowed to install the software on two computers, such as an office workstation and a laptop or a home computer as long as the program is not in use on both computers at the same time, so I don't think there would be any issue with installing the program on the new computer, unless for some reason the license shows up as being already in use with no seats available. I am no expert on Autodesk licensing, but I do know that here in the U.S. Tyke, you are in Germany and I know licensing is a bit different in other parts of the world. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Autodesk are not very helpful in these cases. At first they said I had no longer a right to use them and would be prosecuted if I did. My company just changed its name and I had a hell of a job getting Autodesk to transfer the original licences to the new company name. If this was the case then you have no chance of installing the software as the request code and activation codes were computer specific and could only be used on the computer that generated the request code. I can't remember if in AutoCAD 2005 you had to generate a request code that you sent off to Autodesk who then returned you an activation code, I have a feeling it was so. Also your company never owned the software they just bought a licence to use it and as they never owned it they could not pass it on to anybody else either at no cost or for a fee. The problem you have here is that the company that bought the licences no longer exists and technically you have no rights to install the software, regardless of it is technically possible.
