Activating without using my username and password

[Anonymous]

Hi, how would I activate the educational version product (1250 Education Multi-seat Stand-alone) without having to put my user name and password onto the student machine I am going to install it on ?

(I don't really want the students seeing my name and password or anyone else that installs it either)

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

You can request a Manual Activation. Please go to Contact Support - Activation & Registration, then ask AVA (our Virtual Agent) to help you generate an Activation Code. If AVA is unable to activate the software, it will automatically redirect you to the Registration & Activation team, either via Chat or Web. They should be able to help you activate your software manually, if you provide them with your Request Code.

Hi @Anonymous,

Were you able to perform the manual activation of your Educational product ? If my previous response helped, please mark it as 'Accepted Solution'.

Thank you.

Have tried, but it doesn't seem to recognise my serial.

Have gone into my account (To find the Serial Number and Product Key in Auto-desk Account:)

But can't find a serial number listen with my products, though I have got an Auto-desk Education Multi-seat Stand-alone licence for 1250 devices.

Hello @Anonymous,

Welcome to the community. For every product you wish to have access for you will need to go back to your educational account & select product from the drop down to have it available to you & receive the serial number. 

1. Review the Free Educational Software post  depending on the download method it will automatically recognize your credentials & sign-in or you manually type in the serial# & product key (you shouldn't need an activation code)
2. Temporarily disable security settings like Antivirus, Firewall & UAC on your Windows operating system
3. An internet connection is required to activate, every 30days you should be connected to the internet at some point (to verify your license & use the software) Adjust your proxy settings, to allow access during the install & first launch, also make sure you have an uninterrupted connection. You can try another Wifi network location
4. If the online method does not work & you need a activate code for offline activation, conducting a manual activation

Thank you & let us know how you are doing.
