Learn what is new in the 2015 release.
A major effort was applied to this guide for the 2015 version to make Autodesk installation information more accessible and usable. The intent is to help customers understand installation concepts, work successfully through processes, and prevent errors along the way. Every topic in this guide was moved into a new format that provides numerous links to related information in other topics and on the Internet. This new structure should be more usable for customers using Search as their main method of access to licensing information.
Other specific changes for 2015 products are as follows:
- The new Autodesk Application Manager is installed with all products and suites. It is a cloud-based software delivery solution with a desktop component that informs users of product updates and similar assets as they become available.
- Autodesk 360 appears as a shared component in the installer for most products. It is a design workspace, with cloud-based services and file storage facilities, that supports collaboration among team members. Autodesk 360 can be deselected to prevent its installation, or it can be installed in a disabled state, to be enabled later.
- Windows XP is no longer supported.
- The installer, and some products, support the European Portuguese language.
- The topic About Preparing for Installation was updated to include Windows 8.1, and to provide the procedure for manually enabling Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8/8.1 computers.
