emergency license using the emergency license generator at http://melicensing.autodesk.com/templi-
censing/. A 4-day license code is e-mailed to the address you provide.

launch an unlicensed application. You can also start the Wizard manually, from the Autodesk
section in the KDE system menu.

3 Start the software (page 53) and accept the license agreement.
