Register for a Trial of F/X CAD
Issue
You need to register for a trial of F/X CAD.
You may have opened F/X CAD and immediately seen a prompt to sign in to an Autodesk account.
Cause
Trials for F/X CAD need to be registered with a valid Autodesk account. You're seeing this prompt because:
- Your Autodesk account is not yet registered for a trial of AutoCAD, or
- You are currently logged in with the wrong Autodesk account, or
- You haven't created an Autodesk account.
Solution
1. Use the link below to open the Autodesk Trial Intake page.
Fill out the questionnaire on that page to register for your trial with Autodesk.
If you haven't created an Autodesk account, you'll also be able to create one during this process.
Do not proceed to the next step until you have filled out the questionnaire to register for an Autodesk trial using the link above.
2. After registering for a trial, you may see a Download button to download the trial installation.
Click this button to begin the download. You can then choose to either cancel or ignore the download.
You may see an Install button instead of a Download button. If so, use the arrow to the right of the button to open the menu pictured below, then click Accept to accept the Autodesk Terms of Use and Privacy Statement.
You may the click Install to download and install your trial.
This step may result in the downloading of an installer file.
Delete this file immediately. Do not open or run this file.
At this point, you may see a message that your trial has started and that you can open CAD to start your trial.
Move on to the next step before opening CAD.
3. Click your profile icon in the top right corner of the Autodesk page, then select Trials from the menu that opens.
You should see an active trial listed for the current version of AutoCAD on the next screen. If so, you can return to F/X CAD, sign in with this account, and continue with your trial.
Don't see an active trial listed on the next screen?
If not, you'll need to start the process over again.
If you still don't see an active trial after completing all the steps, you'll need to contact Autodesk for help, as we are unable to help with this system.
No active subscription or trial could be found for this email address
Did you launch F/X CAD, sign in with your Autodesk account, and see a message that No active subscription or trial could be found for this email address?
If so, you're either seeing this message because:
- Your registration didn't go through, and you'll need to repeat the trial process, or
- You're signed into F/X CAD with the wrong Autodesk account
If you find that you're signed into the wrong account, click Already have a license in the bottom right of the message, then click Switch User on the next screen that pops up.
CAD will then prompt you to save. Click Save, then close CAD.
After you reopen CAD, you'll be prompted to sign into your account again.
