Serial number error with 2011 AutoCAD Inventor Suite

Scenario

You are a Subscription Customer who recently upgraded to one of Autodesk’s 2012 Design & Creation Suites. You are trying to activate a 2011 AutoCAD Inventor Suite to complete a project and are receiving a serial number error.

Solution

When you upgraded to one of Autodesk’s 2012 Design & Creation Suites, you received a new serial number, making your old serial numbers for previous software releases obsolete. With your license to use the 2012 Suite, on Subscription, you may continue to use the 2011 AutoCAD Inventor Suites, but must request new serial numbers.

To do so, sign in to Subscription Center and enter a service request to obtain a valid serial number for use with our 2011 AutoCAD Inventor Suite.

If you need to download a previous version of Autodesk software, read How to download a previous release of Autodesk software.
