Quick Start to Autodesk
Stand-Alone Licensing
This guide provides information and instructions for managing an Autodesk
®
stand-alone
license on a single-user workstation.
If you are running a network version of your Autodesk product, see your administrator for
information about managing a network license.
Introduction
A stand-alone license allows you to run an Autodesk product on a single
workstation. To obtain a license, you register your product.
You can use your Autodesk product in trial mode for a given number of days
from the first time you launch the product. The number of days that a trial
mode is active differs between Autodesk products. You can register your license
at any time before the trial period expires. After the trial period expires, you
cannot run your Autodesk product until you register the product.
When you register your product, you receive an activation code. If you register
online, your activation code is automatically retrieved from Autodesk and the
product starts. If you register offline, you request an activation code from
Autodesk. Upon receipt, you manually enter the activation code in the Product
Activation wizard. The Product Activation wizard is displayed every time you
launch a product that has not been registered.
NOTE If you are installing and using an Autodesk product on both operating systems
of a dual-boot operating system, you must obtain a separate activation code for
each operating system.
