The following notes provide a general overview. For more detailed information, see the Licensing Guide for your product.
License Types
You can install most Autodesk products for a trial period of 30 days to evaluate the product. If you purchase a license, it is configured as either stand-alone or network, and for a specific number of users. These license types are briefly described as follows:
- A stand-alone license is intended for use by one person. The licensed products can be installed on two computers, as long as both instances are not running concurrently. (Windows installations only)
- A network license supports a specified number of users who are connected to a network. The Network License Manager is installed on one or more servers on the network to manage the distribution of licenses to users. (Linux installations only)
Network License Server Models
If you are using a network license, choose the server configuration for the Network License Manager that was specified at the time of license purchase:
- Single License Server
One server manages all licenses on the network.
NoteFor Linux installations, only single license servers are supported.
- Distributed License Server
Licenses are distributed across a pool of multiple servers in the network. You enter the name of each server in the pool.
- Redundant License Server
Three servers are available to authenticate each license. You enter the names of the three servers.
