What is the benefit of using a network licensed version
of the software?
Since a network license option is not available for PRODNAME, a multi-seat
stand-alone license is recommended for large drafting/design facilities,
classrooms, and lab environments. Unlike a network licensed product, you
can install multi-seat stand-alone products on the maximum number of
systems that the license allows. For example, you purchase a multi-seat
stand-alone license for 25 seats and have 30 systems at your facility that can
communicate over the Internet. Even though you can install software on all
30 systems, only the first 25 systems you start will have their licenses activated.
Because the licenses are tied to each specific system, the remaining five systems
will never be able to run the software unless you purchase an additional five
licenses.
As long as all the systems have Internet access, products are automatically
activated the first time they are launched.
What is Internet Explorer used for?
After installing your product, you can operate in trial mode for a given number
of days. Whenever you launch the program, you are prompted to activate the
software. When you choose to activate the software, Internet Explorer makes
this process much faster. Once you entered your registration data and submit
it to Autodesk, an activation code is returned and you are not prompted again
during startup.
