Autodesk Stand-Alone Licensing

 
Errors Caused by Hardware Changes
 
 
 

If you replace or reconfigure hardware on the computer where your Autodesk product license resides, the stand-alone license might fail. You won't be able to use your product.

To prevent damage to your product license, use the Portable License utility to export your license file to another computer. After you make the hardware change, you can move the license file back. For instructions about accessing the Portable License utility, see “To use the Portable License utility.” If you want more information about the Portable License utility, see Help in the utility.

NoteIf you do not have another computer available, you may not be able to prevent a license error. If you get a license error when you change your hardware, you may have to reactivate your license. See Register and Activate an Autodesk Product.
