Migrating and Customizing
 
 
 

If you have a previous version of AutoCAD installed on your system, you can install a newer version of AutoCAD and keep other versions of the program on the same system. This is called a side-by-side installation. If you have purchased an upgrade version of AutoCAD, you are required to uninstall the previous version within 120 days of installing your newer product. See your license agreement for more information.

In this section, you learn about migrating from previous releases and using customized files from previous releases.
