How to Change Serial Number

[gtdobson]

I installed a copy of Inventor 2010 on two machines (my laptop and my
workstation) with the intent of moving the license between the two. I
found this to be a little inconvenient for my work, so I purchased an additional
copy of Inventor.

The problem is that I can not figure out how to change the serial number
on my workstation to the new one. The standard License Manager is expecting
me to import the licese that was exported to my laptop.

Do I need to uninstall and then reinstall the software?

The End User License Agreement (EULA) allows for a second activation of your software for the purpose that you are speaking. You are allowed to install and activate a single license on your workstation as well as your laptop. There is no need to transfer the licenses between the two. Simply activate both. If the license will not activate, call Autodesk at 1-800-551-1490 and ask for an Activation Code.
