AUTODESK 2014 SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD

For customers who are on subscription you will be entitled to download your software when you go to the download section on your subscription page and select product to download you will have the following 3 options.

There are 3 methods to download, I have outlined what each method is and the benefits of each.

• Install Now: Installs a installer window for that product, as it installs it downloads the components as required.

Benefits

The best way to get up and running quickly on this computer, with download and install in less than 1/2 the time of a Browser

Download and subsequent Installation. Offers product selection prior to download, high compression, and automatic download resumption after connection interruptions.

What Happens

The Installer starts immediately and downloads the selected software during the installation process. Only the software you select will be installed. You can return and install additional software at any time.

Recommended for

Installing Autodesk products directly on this computer.

• Download Now: Installs the download manager first and then begins downloading the product( This allows you to pause download, if you loose connectivity it will restart the download from the last point) 

Benefits

Delivers a complete standalone installation package with up to 50% compression and automatic download resumption after connection interruptions.

What Happens

A small download manager is first installed and enables an optimized download of the complete software installation package. Once the installation package has downloaded you can begin the software installation on this or other computers without further connection to the internet.

Recommended for

Creating deployments, installing Autodesk products on a different computer, or at a different time.

• Browser Download: Downloads directly within  Internet explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox etc.

Benefits

Works without installing additional software. As compared to other methods, in-browser downloads are less efficient, and less reliable especially when saving large files. Browsers cannot take advantage of superior compression (smaller file sizes) and automatic download resumption abilities built into Download Now and Install Now.

What Happens

The built-in file save mechanism of your web browser is used to deliver a complete stand-alone installation package. Once the package has downloaded, you must extract it , then begin the software installation on this or other computers.

Recommended for

Users who cannot or prefer not to install Autodesk Download Manager.
