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. Exporting a license as public means that you are not reserving the license and anyone using the same serial number and their own user ID and password can import that license. Exporting a license as private means that you are reserving that license for yourself and the license can only be imported with the same serial number, your user ID, and your password.

NoteAn Internet connection is required to export a license.
