Install the plugin
FreeDownload the installer and run it with AutoCAD closed. It installs into your own Windows account, so it never asks for administrator rights. On the next launch AutoCAD asks whether to trust MD Automation as the publisher: accept, and an MD Plugins tab appears in the ribbon. Every plugin you own shares that one tab.

LT versions of AutoCAD do not support .NET plugins, so the MD plugins cannot run there.
