Several years ago, I wanted to get into autocad again but not pay for the latest and greatest. It was just for my own personal use of playing around and designing things so I had no worries of format compatibilities with other companies, etc. I had gotten a stack of autocad lt 2002 books for free from a professor at the college I worked at, so I set out on ebay to find a copy. Got one complete in box!

When it arrived, I fired up the installer, used the serial, and everything installed without a hitch. I ran the program and it asks to activate online.

What I didn't consider was that the activation server was taken offline (I'm sure the official reason was 'cost savings' but 'force people to upgrade' fits in there pretty well in my opinion). So now I had a perfectly good box of software and a stack of manuals for a product I couldn't use for no technical reason other than the company didn't want me to use it. Damn, not even a decade of keeping their activation servers online by Autocad for their own software?

That is ridiculous, it'd be like Microsoft shutting down their infrastructure for Windows 7 activations today. I feel at a certain point, if you've sold software that calls home and you are unwilling to maintain the servers and there are still people using it, you should hand it off to the Internet Archive or a similar org so they can run it. Leaving users stranded with no hope of using software they're familiar with, have paid for, and have supported is just a bad move. Moves like what Autocad did to you are why large companies are using libre software, if upstream dies for some reason, your business won't click off tomorrow. No, this isn't. If that was your worry you especially wouldn't use proprietary software where the issue is much more prevalent. As others point out, you could pay FOSS maintainers if you wanted to.

Your crack search for Autocad 2002 may return better results if you avoid searching for words such as: crack, serial, key, keygen, cracked, download,.rar, etc. Cracker bring something new to the table with each show and with each new release. Cracker's a progressive group. Always looking forward, always moving ahead. I’m not sure they have a script any for any of this, other then the experiences they’ve learned while on the road. This is a very fine reflective album.

Instead, people who don't use X make up excuses as to why not, rather than simply saying they like Y. If you like AutoCAD, use it. In taking customer feedback it's important to only ask potential customers, not people who'd never use your product anyways. Even if their feedback is honest it won't help with what you're doing. That sounds right, and your experience obviously gives you a negative experience of the manufacturer.

But as an engineer in this situation I can relate. If we had phone-home activation I'd probably try to argue that it should be expiring re-enabled every year in the product so that if we abandoned it then users wouldn't be stranded. The question I'd have to answer is - would this be a net positive? Would it lead to more or less sales? Would we only lose customers who wouldn't buy a new license anyway?
