LUMION download

Hi All,

Good news!

Thanks to the Built Environment Computing Unit and people at Lumion we have a solution for you:

You can download the educational version (which lets you save your work and reload it later) of Lumion form the faculty server. There are two ways to do that ... visit the faculty labs in person and download it onto a hard drive from the S drive (from a folder called "studentsoftware") ... or, use a VPN to connect to our network from home.

To connect to the UNSW network via VPN go to http://vpn.unsw.edu.au and follow the setup. If you have trouble try another browser. Then copy and paste this file path  \\download.fbe.unsw.edu.au\fbe\studentsoftware\Lumion 4.5.1 into windows explorer.

IMPORTANT!!!!! when you run the educational version it connects to the Lumion servers and gets a temporary licence. When you close Lumion you need to be online so your machine can give the license back ... failing to do this will make that license unusable, and as we only have enough for the people in the class someone (possibly you!) will miss out if the licenses get used up. If the license is returned properly they can be reused over and over.

Regards

Russell

  1. Hi Russell, is there a specific password to access the download drive using VPN? I am connected to the VPN but cannot access the download file with my normal uni login & password. Is there an additional password? Thanks, Jenny
