Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Hi Forest,

I checked your serial number, and it is the correct one for you. I also saw the product key on your information page. In case you can't see it, it's 777C1.

As an aside, if you have any questions about your serial number, please don't post the actual number here as someone else could use it.

Hi Riku,

Your serial number is actually a 13 month number and not a 3 year license.

Please see this FAQ on how to get a 3 year license:

HI,

In regards to seeing only 2 radio buttons when you try to activate the product, Technical Document TS1053941 has a solution for this issue.
Here is a link to this Technical Document:

Please Michael,

I have a problem.

I downloaded the Inventor Professional 2012 but when I try activate the product I received the same error commnet in this post.

Click the "Use another method" link below to complete the necessary forms and submit your request to the local Autodesk Business Center for your area. A Customer Service Representative will respond within the next 2 business days.

What I can do?

I have an educational email and I wold like use the IV 2012 for three years like I read in the Autodesk site.

Best regards.

Hi Ladimir,

Did you contact your local Autodesk Business Center for assistance?

I currently have a PC running Windows, And I might get a Mac in the future.


My question is:I know you can transfer your license to a new computer, But can you go from PC to Mac with your student license?. If so, How?. I'm guessing if it's allowed you'd get the Mac serial just like you got the Windows serial.


Another thing, I went ahead and got my Mac serial number from the Autodesk Student page. Is that ok?. On the "My Software" page on the Autodesk Student site it lists my Mac serial rather than my Windows serial. I didn't download the Mac version yet of course.


Can I use the Maya student version on my Mac, Assuming I have the serial and product key?.


Note that it might be a while before I can get a Mac, So if a new version of Maya is out, Can I use that new version on my Mac?. Even though I have 2012 on my PC?. Please answer that one too,


Thanks!.

I understand the situation both of us are going through; however, I am still not sure if i have been able to download successfully the two key products that I much interested in. 1. the Auto desk Maya suite and the 3 ds Auto desk product suite.

Hi Joey,

Your serial number for the Mac and PC versions will be different, so you wil not need to transfer the license.

When you get your Mac, just install the program and use the serial number and product key associated with the Mac version to activate the program and get your 3 year license.

Hi Etuah,

Are you trying to download the programs from the student site or the main Autodesk website?
