What is the difference between a stand-alone license and a network license? Stand-alone licensed products are registered and activated to an individual workstation. While the software can be installed on multiple systems in your facility, the license only allows one system to be operational. The Portable License Utility can be used if a license needs to be transferred to another system. If you need to run more systems, you need to purchase more stand-alone licensed products, or consider converting to multi-seat stand-alone licenses. You cannot purchase a network licensed version of AutoCAD LT. However, a multi-seat stand-alone licensed version is available that does not rely upon servers to maintain licenses. Multi-seat stand-alone licensing means that each installation of your product uses a single serial number for registration and activation. What is the benefit to using a network licensed version of the software? Since a network license option is not available for AutoCAD LT, a multi-seat stand-alone license is recommended for large drafting/design facilities, classrooms, and lab environments. Unlike a network licensed product, you can install multi-seat stand-alone products on the maximum number of systems that the license allows. For example, you purchase a multi-seat stand-alone license for 25 seats and have 30 systems at your facility that can communicate over the Internet. Even though you can install software on all 30 systems, only the first 25 systems you start will have their licenses activated. Because the licenses are tied to each specific system, the remaining five systems will never be able to run the software unless you purchase an additional five licenses. As long as all the systems have Internet access, products are automatically activated the first time they are launched. What is Internet Explorer used for?

What is the difference between a stand-alone license

Stand-alone licensed products are registered and activated to an individual
workstation. While the software can be installed on multiple systems in your
facility, the license only allows one system to be operational. The Portable
License Utility can be used if a license needs to be transferred to another
system. If you need to run more systems, you need to purchase more
stand-alone licensed products, or consider converting to
multi-seat stand-alone
licenses.
You cannot purchase a network licensed version of AutoCAD LT. However, a
multi-seat stand-alone licensed version is available that does not rely upon
servers to maintain licenses. Multi-seat stand-alone licensing means that each
installation of your product uses a single serial number for registration and
