To Import a License

How to finish the transfer of a stand-alone license.

A license is imported when the License Transfer Utility moves a previously exported product license from the online Autodesk server to a computer. The import action completes the license transfer process, and transfers the product activation to the importing computer. The presence of an active license allows your Autodesk product to run on that computer.

Note: Before importing a license, ensure that the related Autodesk product or suite is already installed on the computer that is importing the license.
  1. On the importing computer, start the License Transfer Utility:
    • Windows 7: Click Start menu Autodesk [Product Name] License Transfer Utility.
    • Windows 8: Right-click Start screen All Apps License Transfer Utility – [Product Name]
    • Windows 8.1: Start screen Down Apps Autodesk License Transfer Utility – [Product Name]

    The Import the License dialog box displays the Autodesk product name and serial number.

    Note: If you are importing a license to replace a trial license, you will see the Update the Serial Number and Product Key dialog box. In this case, enter the required data, and then click Update.
  2. In the Import the License dialog box, click Sign In.
  3. On the Log In page, enter your Autodesk user ID and password and click Log In.
  4. On the License Import Confirmation page, click Finish.

    The license is now imported to the computer and you can run your Autodesk product on this computer. If you want to transfer the license to another computer, repeat the export and import procedures.
