I just got a second-hand Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II for school and need the student software to send files to the CAS. However, I did not have the activation code for the programme since the CAS was second hand.
I have looked through the MegaThread but have no luck :(

There is an “TI-nspire CXII connect” web app from Texas Instruments themselves. You can find it by going to the webpage of your calculator, and then going to the software section (https://education.ti.com/en/products/calculators/graphing-calculators/ti-nspire-cx-ii-cx-ii-cas/software-overview). If you scroll down far enough (past all the teacher/student software) you’ll see a small section about nspire connect. This should lead you to the following website: https://nspireconnect.ti.com/?ref_url=https%3a%2f%2feducation.ti.com%2fen%2fproducts%2fcalculators%2fgraphing-calculators%2fti-nspire-cx-ii-cx-ii-cas%2fsoftware-overview. This should allow you to update your OS, send and receive files, etc.

It didn't support Linux :(

I have had decent experiences with TiLP on linux. According to their website, it "can handle any TI calculator (from TI73 to V200) with any link cable.". Their website also explicitly states support for the NSpire and NSpire-CAS, but the NSpire CX II isn't mentioned. It might be worth a shot?

If it doesn't work, the easiest solution would probably be a windows VM with USB-passtrough (which wine doesn't support as far as I know). You could then use the webapp I linked earlier.

So I tried it, but it didn't detect the cas

Wow, that's SUPER annoying. Is it necessary to use the calculator? Geogebra has a CAS system and I've found that Desmos is quite powerful for graphing and even animation.
