Automated App License Templates
Introduction
AppsAnywhere provides a range of ready-to-deploy Cloudpaged applications, which can be automatically licensed by AppsAnywhere upon launch.
License information is configured within AppsAnywhere using corresponding license templates, which define the required key / value pairs for software license activation.
This page provides details of the available apps and templates and the correct license format.
See Automated App Licensing for details of how to apply app licenses in AppsAnywhere.
Automated App Licensing is available to all customers using AppsAnywhere 2.11 or above
The feature must be enabled by AppsAnywhere Support before use
Compatible applications can be downloaded from the AppsAnywhere Packaging Service
Only the applications provided by AppsAnywhere via the templates below are compatible
It is not possible for customers to create their own templates for applications that are not already included
New templates are only added periodically, once installation media and licensing details become available
Requests for new versions should be submitted in Application Requests | AppsAnywhere
Customizations to existing templates are requested as Bespoke Requests
All apps are packaged in English (either UK or US) language – if another language is required, this is classified as a bespoke request
Only the latest versions available at the time will be converted for Automated App Licensing
In addition to Automated App License Template, Core Apps are also available

Please note that only the SDL licensing method requires a License Template - the NUL licensing method requires no License Template!
Key | Value Example(s) |
|---|---|
license_zip | AdobeLic.Zip - This is a Zip file containing Certificates, LicensingToolkit & OperatingConfigs directories |
Additional Information
Use the following steps to create the AdobeLic.zip file:
In order to create the AdobeLic.zip file you will need to install Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) - Shared Device Licensing (SDL) on its own (create an installer bundle with just CCD selected and nothing else, you should notice the License Files are also included as part of the bundle when you select SDL)
After you have installed CCD on your test machine, navigate to
C:\ProgramData\AdobeHold down the
CTRLkey and select the following directories:
* Certificates
* LicensingToolkit
* OperatingConfigsThen right-click on one of the above-mentioned directories and click
Send To | Compressed (zipped) folderRe-name the newly created .zip folder to AdobeLic.zip
Upload AdobeLic.zip to AppsAnywhere Automated App Licensing
Please follow these instructions exactly as described - DO NOT try to copy the 3 directories mentioned to another location first - they MUST be added to a zip using this method, otherwise not all the files are copied across

Key | Filename |
|---|---|
autodesk_license_csv | autodesk_license.csv |
Additional Information
The AutoDesk Master License supports both USER and NETWORK licensing. This is achieved by editing a CSV file.
Please be aware that this CSV file needs to contain ALL license information for your Autodesk Products - including Autodesk applications that ARE NOT virtualized but are physically installed.
If an Autodesk product is already installed on an End Users machine and NOT included in the CSV file, virtualizing the Autodesk Master License will break the licensing of that app!
Follow the instructions below:
Download the Autodesk AAL license template .csv file and make a copy of the file.
It is strongly recommended that you use a proper CSV editing tool such as CSVEd to edit the autodesk_license.csv file. DO NOT use Excel.
The following columns/fields are prepopulated in the autodesk_license.csv file and DO NOT need to be modified:
executablePath
appName
pitFileName
productVersion
productKey
selProdKey
Edit the autodesk_license.csv file that was downloaded previously in Step 1 and add details of your organization's Autodesk license information:
To add a USER based license for an Autodesk application, perform the following actions:
Highlight the row containing the Autodesk application you want to license, i.e. AutoCAD 2024.
Enter USER in the licMode column/field.
Enter the Serial Number for your Autodesk application into the serialNumber column/field. This will be in the format 000-00000000, i.e. 111-12345678
Save the autodesk_license.csv file.
To add a NETWORK based license for an Autodesk application, perform the following actions:
Highlight the row containing the Autodesk application you want to license, i.e. AutoCAD 2024.
Enter NETWORK in the licMode column/field.
Enter the Port@Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your organization's Autodesk network license server into the licServer column/field, i.e. 27000@licserver.myuni.edu
NOTE: Autodesk Network License Server uses the first available TCP port in 27000 to 27009 range for lmgrd (the master daemon) and TCP port 2080, which is reserved port for adskflex (Autodesk vendor daemon).
Enter the Serial Number for your Autodesk application into the serialNumber column/field. This will be in the format 000-00000000, i.e. 111-12345678
Save the autodesk_license.csv file.
In the Auto App Licensing template, under Files, click Add File. Enter the key autodesk_license_csv file and browse to the modified autodesk_license.csv file containing the details of your organization’s Autodesk license information.
Click Create License
If you enter the license mode (licMode) as USER for any Autodesk application, you must enter a serial number into the serialNumber column.
If you enter the license mode (licMode) as NETWORK for any Autodesk application, you must enter a value into the licServer column in the format PORT@Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your organization’s Autodesk network license server. In addition, you also need to enter a serial number into the serialNumber column.
Additional Notes
Autodesk applications are available to download from Menu Apps.
If a locally installed version of an Autodesk application, i.e. AutoCAD 2024 is detected on the local machine, the licensing information will NOT be applied for that application. This is to prevent any existing USER activated licenses from being overwritten. The filename value set in the executablePath column/field in the autodesk_license.csv file is used to detect for the presence of a locally installed Autodesk application.
When the Autodesk master license package is run on a machine, a log file called "C:\ProgramData\AppsAnywhere\Autodesk\Autodesk_Master_License.log" will be created. The log file will detail all of the Autodesk applications that were licensed and all of the locally installed Autodesk applications that were detected and where the Autodesk licensing was not applied.
A copy of the autodesk_license.csv file that was uploaded into the Automated App License (AAL) template for the Autodesk Master License package can be found in the folder C:\ProgramData\AppsAnywhere\Autodesk, when the package is virtualized.
If an Autodesk Network License Server is entered into the licServer column/field in the format Port@Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of your organization's Autodesk network license server, i.e. 27000@licserver.myuni.edu, then a SYSTEM environment variable called ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE will be set to this value.
The environment variable ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE is used to determine where Autodesk applications can look for network licenses from Autodesk network license servers.
The individual Autodesk apps that work with the Master License Appset can be downloaded from Menu Apps.

This file is usually located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNote 20\
To accurately produce the license.dat file for EndNote, you must first install the MSI on your endpoint making sure that the license.dat and the MSI are in the same folder. After installing EndNote, using the installer that the MSI has created locate the license.dat file in the installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\EndNote 20), then copy the license.dat file from that directory and use it to refresh the license in AppsAnywhere.
