Plan your software license Choose a license server model, select network servers, and check the system requirements for Network License Manager. Overview of license types Administrators manage three types of licenses, according to the subscription type. These license types are authenticated differently. Named user licenses, based on the customer’s Autodesk Account, are automatically authenticated when the customer first runs a product after signing in to Autodesk Account. Standalone licenses are tied to specific devices and use serial numbers. When customers first run the product, standalone licenses are authenticated either silently by Autodesk servers or when customers are prompted to enter a serial number. Network licenses, managed with Network License Manager (NLM) software, are authenticated by pre-configured network license servers. Sometimes, customers may be asked to give license server information when they first run a product. You can identify your license type for each product in the Products and Services section of Autodesk Account.

About Trace Trace provides a safe space to add changes to a drawing in the web and mobile apps without altering the existing drawing. The analogy is of a virtual collaborative tracing paper that is laid over the drawing that allows collaborators to add feedback on the drawing. Create traces in the web and mobile apps, then send or share the drawing to collaborators so they can view the trace and its contents.

About Getting Organized (AutoLISP) AutoLISP programs can be very simple in nature, executing a few commands that you might commonly use throughout the a day. They can also be very complex, extracting and formatting information from blocks, and constructing the extracted information into a table. When you first get started, keep things simple and then once you feel comfortable with AutoLISP then start looking at conditional and looping statements. When you begin to develop an AutoLISP program, you should keep the following steps in mind: Think about which tasks you want to accomplish. Design the program. Write the code. Add comments and format the code for readability. Test and debug the program.
