Table of contents
No headers The network license file you receive from Autodesk contains licensing information required for a network installation. You obtain license file data when you register your Autodesk product.
The license file contains information about network server nodes and vendor daemons. It also contains an encrypted digital signature that is created when Autodesk generates the file.
The license file configures network license servers to manage licenses. When creating a deployment, the network license server name(s) are specified so that each product instance knows which server(s) to contact to obtain a license. The network license server(s) must be accessible to every user who runs one or more products that require a network license.
The following table defines each license file parameter. For more information, see the License Administration Guide, installed with the Network License Manager.
