Introduction

Stand-alone licensing allows you to use your Autodesk product in trial mode for a given number of days from the first time you launch the product. The number of days that a trial mode is active differs between Autodesk products. You can activate your license at any time before the trial period expires.

NoteThe licensing and activation of both Alias and the add-in Alias for Inventor on a single Windows workstation are shared. Activating one will automatically activate the other. Also, their trial periods are linked, so that a trial for one will start the trial for the other, even if not yet installed.

When you activate your product, you receive an activation code. If you activate online, your activation code is automatically retrieved from Autodesk and the product starts. Activations are also available through email or the Autodesk website.

NoteIf you are installing and using an Autodesk product on both operating systems of a dual-boot operating system, you must obtain a separate activation code for each operating system.

The license file stays on your workstation when you uninstall your product. If you reinstall your Autodesk product on the same workstation, the license information is still valid. You do not have to reactivate the product. If you wish to move the product to another workstation, use the License Transfor Utility.
