An easier process for students and some other users with stand-alone licenses.
The licensing process has been simplified for some customers with stand-alone term licenses, including students at educational institutions. The licenses are pre-registered so that the customers are not required to enter serial numbers and product keys or follow the activation process. These customers are encouraged to download products from an Autodesk website using the Install Now option, which automatically installs the product on the user's computer.
Students at educational institutions are entitled to download free copies of Autodesk products from the Autodesk Education Community website, students.autodesk.com. The products are fully functional with stand-alone three-year term non-extendable licenses.
