Update Your Serial Number
If you installed your product with the trial serial number (000-00000000), you
can update that trial serial number with a valid serial number. Your valid serial
number is located on the outside of the product packaging or in the Autodesk
Upgrade and Licensing Information email you received if you downloaded your
product.
NOTE If you have lost your serial number, contact the Autodesk Business Center
(ABC) at 800-538-6401 for assistance.
When you register and activate your product, you are asked for the product
serial number, which gets automatically entered upon completion of the
activation process.
If you have a multi-product bundle of software that uses a single serial number,
only the first product you register and activate displays the updated serial
number. For other products to display the serial number, you must update it
from the Help menu.
NOTE For the updated serial number to display, you must be logged into the
system with Administrator rights.
