Instructions to Install Autodesk Software
Step 1
Locate and double click on the installer that you downloaded from Autodesk. If you just downloaded it, the installer may be listed in your recent downloads in your browser. If you find the installer in your downloads folder, double click on the installer icon.
Step 2
For Windows: Double-click the ".exe" file that was downloaded in step 1 to start the installation. You may need to run the small installer first to create the full installer in your downloads folder. (If you are installing on a MacOS computer, mount the downloaded ".dmg" file and run the installer from there.) If a User Account Control window pops up, click 'Yes' to allow the installation.
Step 3
When step 2 completes, click 'Next' to proceed.
Step 4
Make sure that the installation folders are correct. If you need to change the folder to which the software will be installed, click on the appropriate three dots button. For most users, however, the default file paths will be correct. Then click 'Install'.
Step 5
Depending on your computer and the software being installed, the installation process may take several minutes.
Step 6
When the installation has completed, click 'Start' to launch the registration process.
Step 7
A window will pop up saying 'Let's Get Started'. Click 'Sign in with your Autodesk ID'.
Step 8
Your default web browser will open to a log in page. Enter your Sask DLC Microsoft 365 email address and password if asked to sign in. Then click 'Open Product.'
Step 9
If your browser asks to open the Autodesk Identity Manager, select 'Open' to launch your Autodesk software. Otherwise, run your Autodesk software from the start menu.
