Additional Information

The AutoDesk Master License supports both USER, STANDALONE and NETWORK licensing. This is achieved by editing a CSV file.

Follow the instructions below carefully:

1. Download the Autodesk AAL license template .csv file and make a copy of the file.

2. 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.

3. 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

4. To continue, follow the instructions below for User based Licensing, Standalone or Network based Licensing

User based Licensing (Serial Number)

1. Highlight the row containing the Autodesk application you want to license, i.e. AutoCAD 2024.

2. Enter USER in the licMode column/field.

3. 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

4. Save the autodesk_license.csv file.

Standalone based Licensing (Serial Number)

1. Highlight the row containing the Autodesk application you want to license, i.e. AutoCAD 2024.

2. Enter STANDALONE in the licMode column/field.

3. 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

4. Save the autodesk_license.csv file.

Network based Licensing (License Server)

1. Highlight the row containing the Autodesk application you want to license, i.e. AutoCAD 2024.

2. Enter NETWORK in the licMode column/field.

3. 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).

4. 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

5. Save the autodesk_license.csv file.

Additional Notes

1. Autodesk applications are available to download from the Packaging Portal.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
