Hi,

 

I represent FMC Technologies SA in France, as we migrate the project manager autocad license to another server.
We want to migrate all customers FMC (FMC position) version 2013.

This would require me:                            The license file

Hi Karim,

 

You actually need need to go to the License Activation Page to Get your License file.

(or get your re-seller to get it for you)

 

Here are the steps From the US Site.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

Request License File

After collecting the appropriate server information, you are ready to request a license from Autodesk.

  1. Go to https://registeronce.autodesk.com.
  2. If you have already registered your product, enter your Autodesk ID and Password and then click Login.  If you have not yet registered your product, you will need to Create an Autodesk ID.
    Learn Learn how to Register and Activate your Autodesk software.
 

3. Select the account where your product is registered and click Next.

 

4. Select the correct Operating System and enter your product serial number.  Click Next.

 

5. Select your Network server type and provide the appropriate server information, which you collected in the above task, Collect License Server Info. Click Next when you are ready to proceed.

 

6. Your license file is then issued and will be emailed to the address associated with your Autodesk ID as a “.lic” file attachment.

Note: Your license file will also appear as text in the body of the email, which you can copy and paste to a text editor and save according to the instructions below.

 
 
 
Save License File

Once you receive your license file, you must save it on your license server. We recommend you save your license file to the location where you installed your Network License Manager in a new folder called “Licenses”. Here are examples of this location for different operating systems:

Windows:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager\Licenses

Mac:

/Users/<user id>/adsknlm

Linux:

/home/<user id>/adsknlm

Note: You can name the license file anything you would like but it must have a “.lic” extension.

 
 
 
Confirm License File accuracy

After saving your license file, it is important to confirm that it contains the correct information.  Your license file will only work on the machine that has the same Physical address. You can modify the Host Name in your License file but not the Physical address.

To confirm the accuracy of your license file:

  1. Open up the license file using a text editor (such as Notepad).
    Note: Do not use Microsoft Word or any other word processing program that might modify the formatting of the license file.
  2. The first line of the license file, beginning with SERVER will list your Host Name and Physical address.
    Note: For Redundant Server Models, the first three lines will show the Host Name and Physical address for the servers.

 

3. Verify that the Physical address matches your server’s. If it does not match, you will need to request a new license file with the correct information.

Learn how to find your Host Name and Physical Address.

 

When you have verified that your license file is correct, you can close it and move onto the last step of Configuring your Server.

 

------------------------------------------------

 

As for the other two:

 

AutoDesk NLM (flexnet) can be downloaded from any Product's service pack page.

 

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=16273699&linkID=9240738

(This one is from the AutoCAD Electrical Page, It is version 11.11)

 

for the Server requirements:

 

  • Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 and 2003 R2 64-bit or 32 Bit
  • Microsoft® Windows® Server 2008 and 2008 R2 64-bit or 32 Bit
  • Microsoft® Windows® Server 2012 64-bit or 32 Bit
  • Windows XP 64-bit or 32 Bit
  • Windows 7 64-bit or 32 Bit
  • Windows 8 64-bit or 32 Bit

All of the Computers that will obtain licenses from the Server should be able to see the server.

This server shouldn't be a domain controller.

 

I hope this helps,
