Autodesk released Service Pack 2 for AutoCAD 2014 fixing over 100 bugs. Portables cannot apply official updates.

Searching for "portable" versions of professional software like AutoCAD 2014 is a common way to try and save space or avoid a heavy installation, but it's important to be careful. Official "portable" versions of AutoCAD don't actually exist—Autodesk only releases full installers that require activation.
But booting a full OS from USB is not the same as a "portable EXE."
Many repacks include reverse shells. The hacker can remotely control your PC, steal your drawings (intellectual property), or use your computer in a DDoS botnet.
A "portable" application is designed to run without being installed on the host computer’s registry or system drive. It leaves no traces, making it ideal for moving between workstations.
