How does the licensing process use the Internet?
Internet communication is required to complete the process of license
activation. If you are not connected to the Internet when you install an
Autodesk product, you can operate in trial mode for a specified period, typically
30 days. When you choose to activate the software and enter your registration
data, your computer communicates with Autodesk over the Internet. An
activation code is provided for you to enter in the fields of a product dialog
box. The Internet is also used to communicate with Autodesk for other
purposes such as authorizing access to websites, downloading service packs,
and sending product support messages.
Can I use the Network License Manager with IPv6?
The standard version of Network License Manager distributed with Autodesk
products is designed for networks that use Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4).
Other versions for use on IPv6 networks are available for download from
Autodesk websites:
