There are two aspects to installing Autodesk Fusion: both a verification and installation processes. These two processes need to be completed independently, and both are necessary. Firstly, start with verification, which will automatically open up access to installation options.
Verification
Firstly, every student and educator needs to be verified every 12 months to access software for free. This might mean being verified for the first time, or re-verifying after 1 year.
Option 1: Verifying as an individual: To become verified, you should direct everyone to www.autodesk.com/education. Scrolling down to ‘Confirm your eligibility, unlock your access’ – will start the verification process. Every student will require proof of their status, e.g. a letter from their school stating they’re enrolled in the current academic year.
Option 2: Verifying up to 125 students: This is available to educators (not network admins) once they have already completed Option 1 themselves. Once verified, they are able to add up to 125 users. Using the student email addresses, you can verify the student who will receive an email. They will not have to go through the verification process and can access software immediately.
The verification process is done by an external company, NOT Autodesk themselves. Therefore, it is essential to upload the correct information to get verified as quickly as possible - See here
Installation Process
Installing the Add-In for Autodesk Fusion Once Autodesk Fusion has been successfully installed on your network, the next step is to install the Fabrio Add-In. The Fabrio Add-In is crucial to install if you want to get the best possible experience from Fabrio. This includes users being able to mark their work via Smart Check and their progress data being relayed to their or their educator's dashboard. The Fabrio Add-In is also where you can access CAD Assist.
We recommend that everyone use the Autodesk Fusion App Store to install Fabrio. Users will be notified that a newer version is available when we update the Add-In.
Contact us if you are a network administrator and require another format to install across multiple machines.
