HELP!!!! Issues with downloading 2016.2

Question

Hello and good day! I am hoping someone can help me right away. The reason for my urgency is a class that is starting for me and has deadlines for assignments etc. I am trying to register and install the software required for the class and while I have been able to register the product and have indeed received an email with a serial number and key code, when I go back to the page where I can click on the executable file to start the download, I click on the required file per my class instructions (2016.2) and there is no download that starts...all I keep getting is the following error message. 
 Not Found 
 The requested URL /storage/naeast1/arvatowt.origin.cdn.level3.net/published/dlmassets/sage50canadianedition/8947/sa_20162cp1.exe was not found on this server. 
 Apache Server at arvatowt.origin.cdn.level3.net Port 80 
 
 I have contacted my instructor who has told me to contact Sage help which is why I am now reaching out to this community. I am desperate for your help. 
 (As a side note, it seems like if I click on 2017 file it starts a download no problem!!) But our class instructions are to download 2016.2 and the text book we are using is Sage 50 Premium Accounting 2016). Thank you for your time and I really look forward to hearing from you. 
 Best regards, 
 Krystal Akerman

You could go ahead and install the 2017 version (not sure registering again will give you 2017 codes, it should), using this version will upgrade any 2016.2 files. Once the 2016.2 is available again, you'd be able to install that along side the 2017 (you cannot downgrade files converted though). A little complicated but it's a workaround. If your teacher can give you an extension because of this thread that's also a bonus. 
 *Avoid installing the regular version of Sage 50 as student files will be converted and then won't open in the Student version afterwards.

Hello all, while we're waiting for the main link to be fixed. Here's a temporary dropbox link with the install file for Sage 50 2016.2 Student Edition: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b0llg8444z3tgtt/SA_20162CP1-EDU.exe?dl=0

So this worked for me, please try the following: 
 - Enter your name in the registration field 
 Once activated, you should be able to get into a company data file and access the Help > About Sage 50 > Support Info screen to check the registration codes. Mine show as:
