documentation. A single instance of the product software can support multiple
languages by adding language packs. Each language pack is matched to a
specific Autodesk product, and includes an installer. You must install the
Autodesk product before installing a language pack. Each installed language
pack creates a separate icon on the Windows Start menu, such as "Inventor -
French (Francais)" that you can use to start the product in that language.
Depending on your product, language packs may be available on the
installation media or from a website.
A language pack installer provides an option to create a language pack
deployment for a particular product. The language pack deployment can be
installed on multiple computers, after the related product is installed, to add
another language version.

License Types
You can install most Autodesk products for a trial period of 30 days to evaluate

described as follows:
■ A stand-alone license is intended for use by one person. The licensed
products can be installed on two computers, as long as both instances are

■ A multi-seat stand-alone license is intended to support a specified
maximum number of users, but it can be installed on a larger number of
computers for convenient access.
■ A network license supports a specified number of users who are
connected to a network. The Network License Manager is installed on one
or more servers on the network to manage the distribution of licenses to
users.
Network License Server Models

Network License Manager that was specified at the time of license purchase:
