I bought autocad in the beginning, 2.9 I think. Upgraded through the years to version 2000. Spent a lot of money on it. The computers that run it have all finally failed. New machines running windows 11 won't run it. Not going to spend any more money with Autodesk, well over $10,000 dollars. Looking for options to make my version 2000 run on W 11. Tried knock offs and thought about buying used computer with earlier version of windows. I have no speed with knock offs and don't want to fly around with multiple computers. Open to suggestions?

What do you use CAD for?

Just revied the yt video. Tried all of them. Believe me that's not like acad. Commands are different and had to figure out how to do what I have already done. No productive speed for me. I use it for my drawing documents.

Did you try the longbow software ?. Did it work for you? I wasted $164 on it then another 200 on tech support. It does a good job of explaining the problem. If you tell me it worked for you I will continue efforts with it.First listing in a google search. You owe me $50.

AutoCAD LT 2000 on Windows 10 - 64 bit - SUCCESS
I installed AutoCAD LT 2000 on my new Windows 10 64-bit (NO VIRTUAL PC). Very happy this still works for little projects. Hope this helps. This is an updated post to install on Windows 10, modified slightly from instructions I posted a few years ago for installing on Windows 8. The following...

I don't get your thinking process.
If you have to PAY to get the CAD you want to do business......make it part of your costs and make your customers pay for it.
You have many excuses why you can't or won't................if this is for business.......pay to play. If it's for hobby, learn new apps that are free.
I really hate a defeatist attitude.
Good luck.

Label yourself dumb ass of 2023 or put the cake you have wasted on more junk. I know, tough choice

I have acad 2003. I don't plan on buying it again. Bought it once and that was enough. I don't blame him for wanting to make his version work without putting out a ridiculous chunk of change to do what you can already do.
Funny how a 100 year old plane or handsaw can work just as well today as when it was new, while modern tools go poof in just a few years.
I don't have Acad, but there are a few other perfectly serviceable applications I've been forced to upgrade or abandon as the available OS's and utilities have mutated. Resented it every time. It's not like they wore out.

Does not matter how much you spent on it through the years, the newer programs work better on the newer OS. Face it what you have is obsolete.
Its all part of business and the ability for us to produce quality work efficiently.
We could all still be using no cordless drills, no track saws, no sketchup, no rendering software. no lasers. We did not eat the cost for all of that we charged accordingly
