License Types and Behaviors
Autodesk supports dynamic product usage and license behaviors. This means
that you can purchase a specific type of behavior with a specific license and
change that license at a later date without having to uninstall and reinstall
the Autodesk product.
NOTE All license types are available as stand-alone and network except for the
Student Portfolio license, which is available as stand-alone only.
License types include the following:
■ Commercial. A license for a product that was purchased commercially.
■ Not for Resale. A license for a product that is not sold commercially. Not
for Resale products are for evaluation or demonstration purposes only and
may not be used for commercial or production use.
■ Educational (EDU)/Institution. A license designed specifically for
educational institutions.
■ Student Portfolio. A license for students who are using an Autodesk product
as part of their curriculum.
License behaviors are as follows:
■ Permanent. Enables permanent use of an Autodesk product.
■ Term Extendable. Enables access to an Autodesk product for a limited time.
The term can be extended at any time.
■ Term Non-Extendable. Enables an Autodesk product for a limited time.
The term cannot be extended.
Heartbeat Signal
When an Autodesk product is running, it communicates with the license
server at regular intervals using a communication method known as the
“heartbeat” signal. If the heartbeat signal is lost, the server tries to reconnect.
If the server cannot reconnect, the user receives a license error.
