How does a trial license work in a product suite
or bundle?
A single trial period, usually 30 days, applies to all Autodesk products in the
suite or bundle. When the first product is started, the trial period begins for
all products. If the user does not activate one of the products before the trial
period ends, access to all of the products is denied. After the trial period ends,
the user can restore access to the products by entering an activation code.
How do I change my license type?
If you are running a product installer and simply entered the wrong license
type (network or stand-alone) by mistake, use the Back button to return to
the Product Information dialog, and change the license type.
If you want to change the license type for an installed product, contact your
Autodesk reseller or license supplier to review any business requirements and
to obtain the new license and serial number. Then uninstall your product and
run a new install to change the license type and enter the new serial number.
For Media & Entertainment products 3ds Max, Maya, MotionBuilder, Mudbox,
and Softimage, a procedure is available for switching a stand-alone license to
a network license. Instructions are provided in the supplements for these
products in Autodesk Installation Help.
Where can I find product license information
after installation?
Select Help menu ➤ About, or About [Product Name]. If your product uses
InfoCenter, that is where you can find the Help menu.
After installation, how can I change product
configuration, repair, or uninstall the product?
To uninstall several products or an entire suite, it is recommended that you
use the Autodesk Uninstall Tool, which you can launch from the list of
products on your computer.
