Finding your Serial Number and Product Key in Accounts

Search or navigate the Windows Registry Editor (REGEDIT)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rxx.x\ACAD-xxxx:409\SerialNumber

* Replace "x's" with your version, or state which version you're using for the specific Registry location

Hello

With REGEDIT :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Autodesk / AutoCAD

R20.1 for 2016 , R20.0 for 2015 , R19.1 for 2014 , R19.0 for 2013 ...

and then look for a Key (REG_SZ) called "SerialNumber" ...

Hello,

What about newer versions of AutoCAD (higher than 2016)?

I don't know if the problem is network license which I have installed, because I'm seeing xxx-xxxxxxxx in registry entry.

Thanks.

Hi,

>> What about newer versions of AutoCAD

Independent of your release of AutoCAD: try that LISP statement (copy into the command-line, including parentheses):

(getvar "_PKSER")

It works, thank you very much, but I'm working on software which is reading information from all computers in our company (hardware/software information) and storing them in one place. So we can easily check what we need.

IMHO does not make sense when running a license server because the serial is stored there (on the license server)
