AutoCAD free trials

Official are valid for 30 days and cannot be renewed or extended once they expire. Attempting to "reset" the trial using third-party tools or registry edits is often unreliable and may violate Autodesk’s terms of service .

Subscription trial or monthly plan

• Legal/contract risk: Bypassing trial limits typically violates Autodesk’s license agreement.
• Security risk: Third-party reset tools or cracked installers may include malware.
• Stability risk: Tampering with registry or app files can corrupt installs and lose custom settings or data.
• Support risk: Autodesk support and updates may be denied for noncompliant installs.

• The claim: Delete HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\RXX.X and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD.
• The reality: Modern trials place validation data across 15+ registry locations. Even if you find them, the FlexNet database (FNP_DIR) is stored in a binary format in C:\Windows\flexnet. Deleting this without breaking Windows is nearly impossible. Even if you succeed, the server-side record remains.
