I created a fake email. It prompted me to set up my education institution (to which I just said some local one), and verified my email. Then when I attempted to download Inventor, it asked me for proof of enrolment.

Dunno if I dun goofed something up here. I remember doing almost the same thing a year or two ago; created a fake email account, said I was attending some random university, and it let me download the software with no issue.
