Hello, looking for some advice on regarding software activation. I think we've been doing this the hard way for years and I'm trying to simplify the process.
We're a k12 school district. We have an account and download our software from the normal edu free section.
After everything is downloaded we create a deployment package. The wizard for creating the deployment pack prompts for the type of License Access. We choose "Serial Number stand-alone" and enter our license data, all of which works perfectly.
Now we mass deploy that software to multiple labs of computers, all of which works perfectly.
This is where I'm looking for assistance. If a student logs in, the software is not activated and does not function. Even though we saved the serial info on the deployment package.
If an Administrator logs into the computer and launches any of the AutoDesk products it will prompt them to activate. We must sign in with the AutoDesk account we used to download the original software package, it activates and other users on that same computer are good to go.
Since we're mass deploying the software to multiple labs, logging into each computer individually and then signing into each application to register is very time consuming.
Ideas on how we can automate or improve this process? Can we script this somehow?
Products we're using that are affected by this behavior: AutoCAD, AutoCAD Arch, AutoCAD Mech, Inventor, and Revit. (all 2019)
Appreciated!
