the number of licenses you have purchased (for example, purchasing 25
licenses but installing on 40 workstations). At any one time, products will run
on the maximum number of systems for which you have licenses. This means

additional licenses can be purchased.

software.
Once you entered your registration data and submit it to Autodesk, an
activation code is returned and you are not prompted again during startup.
