Save License Information as a Text File You can view detailed information about your Autodesk product and your product license (such as the serial number, license usage type and behavior), and then save this information as a text file for future reference. To save license information as a text file 1 Start your Autodesk product. 2 Click Help ➤ About or About [Product Name]. 3 In the About window, click Product Information or Product License Information. 4 In the Product License Information dialog box, click Save As. 5 In the Save As dialog box, name the file, choose a location where you want to save the file, and then click Save. 6 In the Product License Information dialog box, click Close. Update Your Serial Number You typically update your serial number for a stand-alone license when you purchase a new license in order to change the license type or behavior. For example, you would do this if you want to convert an educational license to a commercial license, or if you want to extend the term of a term extendable license. When you update a license, you do not need to uninstall and reinstall the product. The new license includes a new serial number that you enter in the Product License Information dialog box. Your serial number is located on the outside of the product packaging or in the Autodesk Upgrade and Licensing Information email you received when you downloaded your product. When you register and activate your product, your serial number is submitted to Autodesk over the Internet, if a connection is available. If you have a suite of products that use a single serial number, only the first product you register and activate displays the updated serial number. For other products to display the serial number, you must update them from the Help menu. Stand-Alone Licensing | 75
