This is the only "safe" method but requires a licensed copy of AutoCAD 2012 and ThinApp.

Step-by-step:

Install Windows 7 (or 10) inside a VMware virtual machine (clean snapshot).
Install AutoCAD 2012 64-bit normally (activate with your legitimate license).
Launch VMware ThinApp in "Prescan/Postscan" mode.
Run all features of AutoCAD to capture dependencies (C++ Redists, .NET, DirectX).
ThinApp compresses everything into a single acad.exe and a data.dat file.
Copy these to a USB drive.

Result: A truly portable version that runs on any 64-bit Windows without admin rights (provided the virtualization layer works).
