After deploying products to individual workstations in your network, you can manage licences directly in the product.
View licence information
- Click your user account and select Manage Licence. The Licence Manager dialogue displays a list of licences currently active in this session.
- To see licence details, click to expand the drawer on an active licence.
Change the licence type
To switch between a named user licence, device licence and network licence:
- Click your user account and select Manage Licence.
- In the Licence Manager window, click Change Licence Type for an active licence. This command lets you choose an existing licence or complete the licensing of a new one. It doesn't remove or deactivate existing device licences.
Renew the licence
Annual and 3-year multi-user subscriptions and network maintenance plans don’t renew automatically. Update the licence file to extend access until the next renewal period.
Update the licence file in one of two ways:
Update all licences by generating a licence file for all products (recommended)
- Sign in to Autodesk Account at manage.autodesk.com.
- Under All Products and Services, select your product and click Generate Network Licence File.
- Select the option to generate the licence file for all network products for a given server.
- Add this new licence file to your licence server.
Update the renewed snippet in the licence file
- From the licence file you receive by email when you renew, copy the snippet that lists the renewed products with their new expiry date.
- Replace the expired snippet in your current licence file with the new one on the network licence server.
