Install your product

Product installation varies according to which method you use:

• Simple download from Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com.
• Custom Install from Autodesk Account to configure the installer before you download and install.
• Download and install from the Autodesk desktop app included with Windows products. If you don’t have the Autodesk desktop app, you can download the installer.
• Download and install from the Autodesk Virtual Agent (AVA).

Note: For most 2022 and later products for Windows, you can configure your product in Autodesk Account before you install. For most product releases earlier than 2022 (see the following exceptions), you download the installer and then customize during installation.

Here are the product releases earlier than 2022 that also support Custom Install from Autodesk Account:

• 3ds Max 2021

• Maya 2020

• Maya LT 2020

• Revit 2021.1

• VRED 2021
