Do not use this method forsubscription software activation, which requires anactive internet connection. Using manual activation foranything other than stand-alone, perpetual licenses will causeunnecessary problems.
You need a valid serial number: You'll need avalid serial number and matching product key. Before starting, besure to findyour serial number and matching product key.
You need to generate a Request Code to get an ActivationCode: When you enter your serial number during offlineactivation, you receive a Request Code. You must supplyboth the Serial Number and Request Code to get an ActivationCode.
Contact Us for Assistance: If you receive an'Invalid Serial Number' error or encounter other issues withsoftware activation, please contact us for assistance.
Follow these three steps to complete the manual activationprocess:
To generate a request code to activate yoursoftware:
Disable your Internet connection and launch your software tobegin this offline process. The screens below onlyappear if your computer is not connected to the Internet.
Click the Activate button on the FreeTrial screen.
Note: Autodesk software products operate on a FreeTrial license until activated. If you purchased your software anddidn't use it as a Free Trial, you still need to activate yoursoftware from the Free Trial screen.

Product keys are required for installation of Autodesk productsand are used to differentiate products that are both soldindependently and as part of a product suite. Forexample, installing AutoCAD 2014 as a point product requiresproduct key 001F1, but installingAutoCAD 2014 from the Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2014requires product key 781F1. The sameversion of AutoCAD is in both software packages but the product keydifferentiates one package from the other.
Note: Please ensure you are using thecorrect product key for the Autodesk product and version you areinstalling. Entering an incorrect product key will result inactivation errors for that product.

You may need a serial number and product key to activate someAutodesk software.
Note: If you are on subscription, you may no longer need toenter a serial number or product key; you just need to signin. Serial numbers are never required for launching productswith network licenses.
Serial numbers are unique codes associated with your AutodeskAccount and a particular product that you have purchased or isotherwise available to you. For 2014 versions and later, you canfind them in Autodesk Account, on the Management tab. Depending onyour license type, you may not need a serial number to launch yourproduct.
The Management tab of your Autodesk Account page stores theserial numbers and product keys for each licensed product.
Note about serial number visibility in AutodeskAccount: Only account administrators, such as ContractManagers and Software Coordinators, and Named Users with assignedsoftware benefits will see serial numbers in Autodesk Account.You are the account administrator if you purchased a softwaresubscription using your Autodesk Account or were assigned the roleof Contract Manager or Software Coordinator by your company. If youdo not see the software you wish to activate in your Autodeskaccount or see the message 'Contact your admin for serial numbers,'you need to contact the account administrator. Only anadministrator can assign you as a Named User or End User and giveyou permissions to download and activate the software.
When students, educators, and educational institutions downloadproducts from the Education Community,the product serial numbers are found in the followinglocations:
See:FindSerial Numbers & Product Keys for Educational Licenses
Serial Numbers do not appear on software packaging forAutodesk software versions 2014 and newer. Serial numbers for theseversions are emailed to you after you place an order or can befound in AutodeskAccount.
If you have physical media (a DVD or USB key) for a 2013or earlier product, your serial number and productkey will be printed on the label of the productpackaging.
Example of label from 2011 version. Format is similar for 2010- 2013 product releases.
Product keys are codes that identify each productversion.
You can find product keys for recent versions of your productin Autodesk Account, on the Management tab.
To look up a product key for a particular product version (2010and later), you can also go to: Look UpProduct Keys.
If you can't find the product key for older versions ofAutodesk software (2013 and later), you may be able to findit in a text file in the installation folder.
To determine if your product key is available inyour installation folder:
MID:Autodesk_Design_Suite_Ultimate_2012_64bit_SWL_ENU_C009_EXE1
Product Name: Autodesk Design Suite Ultimate 2012
Platform: Windows XP/Vista/Win7
Media: ESD
Part Number: 769D1-05Y001-P503E,769D1-05Y001-P504E
Product keys are required for installation of Autodesk products and are used to differentiate products that are both sold independently and as part of a product suite. For example, installing AutoCAD 2014 as a point product requires product key 001F1, but installing AutoCAD 2014 from the Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2014 requires product key 781F1. The same version of AutoCAD is in both software packages but the product key differentiates one package from the other.
Note: Please ensure you are using the correct product key for the Autodesk product and version you are installing. Entering an incorrect product key will result in activation errors for that product.
