Autodesk Design Institute 7 Installation Guide 11. Activate the Products Activation is a software-based license management technology that allows users who have purchased legitimate software licenses to run the Autodesk software. The technology is designed to deter casual copying and unauthorized use of Autodesk products. Activation verifies the validity of the serial number and the eligibility of the computers for which the software has been activated. You will find that product activation is a secure, easy process that does not change the way the software works for licensed users. All Design Institute products are pre-configured as multi-seat stand-alone products. To deploy your software on a network, you must call Autodesk Customer Service at 800-5511490 to request that the Design Institute serial number be changed from multi-seat standalone to network. The Autodesk Customer Service Center can then provide you with your network activation code. For multi-seat stand-alone products that you install without using the Deployment wizard, registration and activation are not automated; instead, when you run the product for the first time on each workstation, you must manually enter the registration information. Important: The registration data you enter must match exactly at each workstation, or product activation will not work. Note: For multi-seat stand-alone products on a workstation, if you attempt to activate a product and you receive the activation dialog box with the message, "Do you want to launch the product or activate?" exit the product, and then restart it. Your product should already be activated. If the product is not activated, follow the activation process again. You will have a maximum of five attempts online to activate a product on each workstation before you are locked out of online activation. If you get locked out of the activation, you must call Autodesk Activations for your code. If you have problems with the automated process or if you are activating products manually, you can use one of the following methods: ƒ By visiting http://register.autodesk.com ƒ By email: [email protected] ƒ By phone: 800-551-1490 ƒ By fax: 800-225-6490 or 415-507-4937 30
