Got a school email ID? Get 25+ Autodesk products for free

The Autodesk Student Community was launched in 2006, with the idea of providing a place where students and faculty can download selected Autodesk software for free and where support materials can be found. The barrier to entry is a valid email address issued by a recognized university or school. As far as I can tell, there is no restriction on geographic location.

The student community may only be used by students. If you can prove you are a student you are entitled to the latest editions of almost all major Autodesk products. Recently, Autodesk unveiled their 2011 line of products and this time all products come with an extended 3-year license. At the time of this writing, more than 25 Autodesk products were available for free download.

All the students editions have the same features and capabilities as the retail edition, except for a watermark that appears over all finished work. This is to prevent their use in commercial work.

A selection of products that are on offer are:

  • AutoCAD
  • AutoCAD Civil 3D
  • AutoCAD Electrical
  • AutoCAD Inventor Professional Suite
  • Autodesk Algor Simulation Professional
  • Autodesk Alias Design
  • Autodesk Alias Automotive
  • Autodesk Alias Sketch
  • Autodesk Ecotect Analysis   
  • Autodesk Maya
  • Autodesk Mudbox
  • Autodesk Revit Architecture
  • Autodesk Revit MEP
  • Autodesk Revit Structure
  • Autodesk Smoke
  • Autodesk Softimage
  • Autodesk 3ds Max

To get your free software, visit the Student Community registration page sign-up using the email address given to you by the University. Your log-in details will be sent to the email address you used to sign-up. Once you have them, you can log-in and go to the Software Downloads page.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.
