IMPORTANT If you are using Autodesk products on Mac OS X or Linux platforms, see your product appendix for more information on how to install and start the License Transfer Utility. After the utility is started, the procedures for exporting and importing licenses are the same on all platforms. The License Transfer Utility is a custom stand-alone installation option. During installation, a shortcut is created. A shortcut is installed once per product, per computer. You can transfer a license to another computer temporarily or permanently. For example, a temporary transfer enables you to use the Autodesk product on a mobile computer while your main computer is being repaired or replaced. License transfers rely on the product serial number. Before an Autodesk license can be exported, it must be activated with the serial number and product key. During license import, a previously activated and exported license is imported to a product or suite installed with the same serial number. The activation is transferred to the importing computer, completing the license transfer. The maximum number of concurrent license exports is equal to the number of seats you own. For example, if your license covers five seats you can have up to five license exports in progress at any time. When you upgrade your Autodesk product, you can no longer perform online license transfers of the previous license. Although the License Transfer Utility allows you to transfer your product license between computers, your license agreement may not allow the installation of an Autodesk product on more than one computer. Read your license agreement to find out whether your product license permits the use of the License Transfer Utility. Export a License A license is exported when the License Transfer Utility moves a product license from a computer to the online Autodesk server. The license can be exported as public or private: ■ Public means that anyone using the same serial number and their own user ID and password can import that license. ■ Private means that you are reserving that license for yourself and the license can only be imported with the same serial number, user ID, and password that were used when it was exported.

IMPORTANT
If you are using Autodesk products on Mac OS X or Linux platforms,
see your product appendix for more information on how to install and start the
License Transfer Utility. After the utility is started, the procedures for exporting
and importing licenses are the same on all platforms.
The License Transfer Utility is a custom stand-alone installation option. During
installation, a shortcut is created. A shortcut is installed once per product, per
computer.
You can transfer a license to another computer temporarily or permanently.
For example, a temporary transfer enables you to use the Autodesk product
on a mobile computer while your main computer is being repaired or replaced.
License transfers rely on the product serial number. Before an Autodesk license
can be exported, it must be activated with the serial number and product key.
During license import, a previously activated and exported license is imported
to a product or suite installed with the same serial number. The activation is
transferred to the importing computer, completing the license transfer.
The maximum number of concurrent license exports is equal to the number
of seats you own. For example, if your license covers five seats you can have
up to five license exports in progress at any time.
When you upgrade your Autodesk product, you can no longer perform online
license transfers of the previous license.
Although the License Transfer Utility allows you to transfer your product
license between computers, your license agreement may not allow the
installation of an Autodesk product on more than one computer. Read your
license agreement to find out whether your product license permits the use
of the License Transfer Utility.
Export a License
A license is exported when the License Transfer Utility moves a product license
from a computer to the online Autodesk server.
The license can be exported as public or private:
Public
means that anyone using the same serial number and their own
user ID and password can import that license.
Private
means that you are reserving that license for yourself and the
license can only be imported with the same serial number, user ID, and
password that were used when it was exported.
