Small businesses can't afford to do this over and over at every turn. Not everyone desires to pay out money for the newest edition unless it's necessary to do so. Why would someone 'NEED' to purchase the 2016, 2015, or 2014 version? Because they need the services that those packages provide. because it still works and provides the service that the customer required when they first purchased it. Why do you need such an old version of the software? IF you don t mind me asking what is the app that is holding you to the community.Īs indicated earlier, the 2004 version is an obsoleted product, no longer supported and there's no link to download it. I have a need for ACAD 2004 in order to open some old drawings created with AutoCAD and a 3rd party add-on that does not have backward compatibility As I read this, is the 3rd party add-on related to AutoCAd 2004 and that's why you can't open these legacy files in newer versions of AutoCAD.

Trials are only for testing purposes only. Finally if you do get your hands on a trial of the 2004 it can't be used for any production work/conversion. In addition any site offering AutoCAD product downloads that are not a linked to Autodesk in some way will only lead you into hot water and possible fines.

If you're on subscription you could try and request for a serial # for 2004 (previous usages) but there will still be no link provided to download the software. Most likely Autodesk is not going to give you a link to an obsolete product and it doesn't matter how many Autodesk license you currently have.
