I guess I'll have to finally upgrade to LT 2015/16 as my ancient LT 98 will not install on Windows 10 Pro. It last ran on XP Pro which I still have on my other laptop. Any one know any way to run the old programs under Windows 10? I've tried the XP emulation but it doesn't work for LT 98. Thanks.
Thanks for the tip but that only works for 32-bit programs to run on 64-bit systems. LT 98 is a 16-bit program (I told you it was ancient and was first made to run on Windows 98!) and works perefectly under XP Pro which still had a 16-bit compatibility emulation. I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy a new LT.

I tried the compatibility mode in my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit but it will not work and I'm not about to buy another version of Windows 10 (32-bit). I did contact Longbow Software and Lex Steel said that their Converter should work for this on Windows 10 so thanks to Darren P. in the post above for that tip. Here's a link to the Longbow site with the info on this... -autocad-lt98-on-windows-7-and-windows-8/
I decided that if I'm going to have to buy a new program, I might as well buy one that will work in my 64-bit Windows 10 environment right out of the box. I researched a lot of different programs and ended up buying TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D v21 which has 64-bit compatibility and also does way more for the money than AutoCAD LT 2013 and several others. I can still use my AutoCAD LT98 on my old laptop and the results are compatible with TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D v21 on my new laptop so I'm very happy with my choice... ;
I have AutoCAD LT98 running on Window 10 Pro 64 bit (version 1903) in Windows 98 compatibility mode. I used a 32 bit installer I found on the internet. I had to copy some files from an old windows XP computer with AutoCAD LT98 running on it. It seems to run flawlessly with an occasional crash when opening a file. I did this for a friend. I personally have newer versions of AutoCAD. I found the information to do this by searching the internet.
I remember that I also had to copy some file from an old Windows XP computer with These programs running sucessfully on them. Without that I couldn't get it to run. Its been about 6 months since I did it so I don't remember all the details but the AutoCAD LT98 and 2000 are running today. I am sure you can figure it out.
I remember I had to go to the old XP computer where AutoCAD LT98 was running successfully and copy all the files in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk shared" to the Windows 10 Pro directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk shared" on the new computer. This is where the missing DLLs are.
I evaluated TurboCAD Deluxe 2D/3D v? and found it could not do what I needed to do that I do so easily with AutoCad 2000 and LT2002 which is to attach raster files, draw over them with polylines of specific thickness and output to a jpg or png file with specific lineweights.
I actually own 2 copies of AutoCAD LT98. One I bought and one Autodesk gave me because I found and reported an error in AutoCAD LT98. The one they gave me has the error corrected. I don't us them because AutoCAD LT2002 is so much better. Check to see if our copy of LT98 inserts blocks accurately to a snap point.
Autodesk ended the reauthorizing of 2010 and older software (that includes LT98) as of August 31 2019, read all about it here -explore/caas/simplecontent/content/previous-ver...
Sorry, you missed the deadline. There is nothing you can do about it today.
If you find Autodesk software subscriptions too expensive, there are many other CAD packages out there with no subscription options (initial cost may still be comparably high) that you can go get and use.
AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for precise 2D and 3D drafting, design, and modeling with solids, surfaces, mesh objects, documentation features, and more. It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. It also comes with seven industry-specific toolsets for electrical design, plant design, architecture layout drawings, mechanical design, 3D mapping, adding scanned images, and converting raster images. AutoCAD enables users to create, edit, and annotate drawings via desktop, web, and mobile devices.
AutoCAD LT is powerful 2D CAD software used for precision drafting and documentation. AutoCAD includes all the features of AutoCAD LT, plus additional features to benefit productivity such as 3D modeling and automation of repetitive processes. AutoCAD also lets you customize the user interface with APIs and add-on apps. With AutoCAD, users are able work more efficiently with seven industry-specific toolsets to enhance automation and productivity for tasks in architecture, mechanical design, electrical design, plant design, plumbing, converting raster images, geographic information systems, and 3D mapping.
