How many subscriptions would I need

[rogermal]

I am Trying Auto Lt. How many installs can you have with a one year subscription? I would need it installed on a Mac and a PC, would I need 2 subscriptions?

Welcome to the community/

ALthough its AutoCAD LT, the windows and mac version are 2 different applications required two different purchases.

Hello @rogermal

If I may add to @Mark.Lancaster

1. No. of installations depends on the number of seats (1 installation per seat)
2. You can use the Windows version of AutoCAD on Mac if you are using Parallels or Bootcamp (This way you don't need to purchase 2 different AutoCAD versions for MacOS and Windows)

BUT, I don't want to run on Parrellels. I work on a Mac but must have a PC to output to a laser cutter

Good news @rogermal,

AutoCAD and AutoCAD for Mac subscriptions entitle you to cross-platform licensing. As long as you are not planning to use the license concurrently on both machines (at the same time), you will actually only need one license to install and run AutoCAD on both machines.

Note: Versions of AutoCAD LT for Mac that were purchased from the Mac App Store are not available for cross-platform licensing.

@rogermal my wrong apologies.

I just checked for AutoCAD 2013 and later (SEE AUTODESK RESOURCE HERE) entitles u to cross-licensing between products of the same version year. hence 1 license

Edit: @matthew.d beat me to it few seconds earlier 🙂

Hi @rogermal

The answer to your question is 1. You will only need to purchase 1 seat of AutoCAD. This will also entitle you to AutoCAD for Mac. So, technically, you're getting the best of both worlds.

Here's more information about using the windows version and the Mac version under the same serial number/contract:
