Please consider the following before starting the installation:
- Ensure that you have permissions to install applications on the computer or network.
- Review the product documentation to clarify installation procedures.
- Close all running Autodesk programs.
- Install all Windows Updates that are pending for your machine, and then restart the computer.
Important: Autodesk 2015 products include NLM version 11.12; all network license servers working with 2015 products must also run NLM version 11.12. The 2015 clients cannot get licenses from a server running NLM 11.11 or lower. However, older versions of Autodesk products will still work on NLM 11.12.
Note: This installer includes a copy of NLM 11.12. If an earlier version of NLM is already installed on the server, uninstall that version, and then install the new version into the directory where the old version was located. More information can be found in the Autodesk Licensing Guide.
You will need the following to install the Network License Manager v11.12:
- The serial number for each product purchased.
- An Internet connection to obtain the license files.
Note: Autodesk® License Certificates containing your serial numbers and product keys were e-mailed to the main contact on the original order.
