My company recently updated my laptop and are willing to update the version of CAD I use also. However the problem is I'm not to sure how to do the transfer. The old laptop runs on windows XP (intel core duo CPU L2400 @1.66GHz, 980MHz and only 504 MB of RAM) and I have the 2008LT version of CAD, as far as I understand I need to install CAD on the new laptop before I can transfer the license yet windows 7 only supports autodesk 2010 or higher (or so I've read in the forum) and I can't upgrade to a newer version on the old laptop before the transfer because it can not support the upgrade, and so I cannot align the two computers with the same CAD version for the transfer. PLU(or LTU) is not the ideal solution as I will not require the license on the old laptop at all so I'm looking for a way to permanently transfer the licence and upgrade to a newer version of CAD. I am quite happy to pay for the upgrade, I just do not want to have to pay for a new licence aswell! Any advice or assistance greatly appreciated.
If the license for LT 2008 has been upgraded you can't transfer it anymore, you would just want to install the newer version on your new system with the new Serial number.
Just to clarify, (If the license for LT 2008 has been upgraded you transfer it anymore(?)), do I need to purchase the upgrade on the old computer (where the license file is currently saved) and receive a new serial number and then install(download) that new version on the new computer and simply type in the same license name and number when installing it. Is there any need for licence file transfer?
Apologies, I am not familiar with the installation process for CAD as it was already installed on the old computer.
if you upgrade your 2008 license you do not need to tranfer it off the system. You will receive a new serial number and product key and you will just install on the new system with that
