Installation guide

NOTE Adobe Flash Player is not installed by default. If a version of Flash is not
currently installed on your system, a message is displayed requesting that you
download it from Adobe’s website. If you do not have Internet access, you can
also access the Flash installer on the AutoCAD Civil 3D disc.
Understanding Administrative Permission Requirements
To install AutoCAD Civil 3D, you must have administrator permissions. You
do not need to have domain administrative permissions. See your system
administrator for information about administrative permissions.
You do not need administrator permissions to run AutoCAD Civil 3D. You
can run the program as a limited user.
Locating Your Serial Number and Product Key
When you install AutoCAD Civil 3D, you are prompted for your serial number
and product key in the Product and User Information page. The serial number
and product key are located on the outside of the product packaging, or in
the email you received if you downloaded your product. Make sure to have
these available before you install the program so that you don't have to stop
in the middle of the installation.
The serial number must contain a three-digit prefix followed by an eight-digit
number. The product key consists of five digits.
