This Autodesk Master License is to be used as a dependency for all Autodesk applications that require licensing. It is built for Autodesk 2027, but is also backwards compatible with Autodesk 2026.
Only one instance of the Master License Appset is permitted per machine - DO NOT have 2026 and 2027 versions of the Master License Appset on any machines.
For use with Autodesk 2027 apps
No License Template or CSV file is required for 2027 Autodesk Master License, the Autodesk Master License is just a dependency and the licensing will take place with each Autodesk 2027 app (for example Autodesk AutoCAD 2027 will require a license template configuring)
For use with Autodesk 2026 apps
The following License Template is required:
AutoDesk Master License 2026
This will also require you to complete a CSV file with the licensing information for your Autodesk 2026 products
See Autodesk 2026 License Information for more detailed information
