License Files
 
 
 

The network license file you receive from Autodesk contains licensing information required for a network installation. You obtain license file data when you register your Autodesk product.

The license file contains information about network server nodes and vendor daemons. It also contains an encrypted digital signature that is created when Autodesk generates the file.

The license file is located in a network location that you specify. That network location must be accessible to every user who runs the product from a network installation.

The following table defines each license file parameter.
