Alias includes several file translators that you can execute from the command line. To access these translators, browse to the translator folder in the Alias installation directory. For example:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AliasAutoStudio2021.1\bin\translators.

Many of these translators require that you specify license information before you can use them. This licensing information includes the following:

• ALIAS_PRODUCT_KEY - Product keys are specific to the Alias product you are using and its release version. For example is "966M1"
• ALIAS_PRODUCT_VERSION -The release version you are using. For example 2021.0.0.F.
• ALIAS_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE - The type of license are you using, such USER for subscription users, SA for stand-alone licenses or NW for network license servers or flex tokens.
• ALIAS_PRODUCT_LICENSE_PATH - You must specify the full path to the LIC file in use. This information must be provided even when you are using a subscription user license type (USER). In this case, even if a LIC file does not exist, you can provide a path to the most likely location of a LIC file.

There are two ways to specify the license information: using environment variables or by explicitly passing them as command line parameters.

Use environment variables to specify license information

Use these environment variables to specify licence information:

ALIAS_PRODUCT_KEY=<your_product_key>

ALIAS_PRODUCT_VERSION=<your_product_version>

ALIAS_PRODUCT_LICENSE_TYPE=<your_license_type>

ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE=<your_path_to_network_license_file>

Use the command line to specify license information

Licensing parameters can be passed to the translator like other arguments. Using the syntax below, create a single command line to specify your license information.

-productKey <your_product_key> -productVersion <your_product_version> -productLicenseType <your_license_type> -productLicensePath <your_path_to_network_license_file>
