Can you still buy AutoCAD 2008 Mechanical anywhere?
Can you still buy AutoCAD 2008 Mechanical anywhere?
(OP)
We have four boxed copies of AutoCAD 2008 Mechanical (individually licensed). We're adding a fifth person to do CAD, and now I need to source another seat. I'd like to keep everyone on the same version for a few different reasons, and upper management isn't convinced that we should upgrade everybody. (I agree that our business wouldn't see any benefit to a newer version anyway.)
Where would I get this?
I started with this company as a mechanical engineer and ended up going into IT, and now I'm THE AutoCAD support guy.

AutoCAD 2008 is actually two years past legacy so you will have to get at least one new seat and you can set the settings in that program to AutoSave down to the 2007 format your other users are on.

I'm not saying you shouldn't go to e-Bay or CraigsList, but if you do you may have an inexpensive copy that won't migrate to future platforms or let you get upgrade pricing if you ever decide to go that way. There is some question as to whether these "OEM aftermarket" versions are legal or not, but I don't know the truth of that.
