The 11/11/20 instructions on the EAA website are the latest method of download and installation; they were created in reaction to this thread.

How far into the process have you gotten? When you say "registration," what do you mean? It's a two-step process, which isn't immediately obvious. If you're registered on MySolidworks, you may just have a "Guest" account. You also have to register as a student on the 'My Profile' page, under the 'My Subscription' tab. In the Student Information section, enter the following:

  • School Name: EAA
  • Year of Graduation: 2021
  • School Website URL: EAA.org
  • Student Serial #: (This should auto populate if you went through the initial registration process and entered the EAA serial number.)
  • Select to Download: 2020

Once that's done, it may take a few hours before the download link appears, but it should show up on the 'My Profile' page, eventually.

Note that I had to use Internet Explorer to accomplish this. It was the ONLY browser out of the four (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Explorer) that I tried that would work on the Solidworks website. In all of the others, there were links that didn't work, frustrating the process.
