Do not use these instructions if:

• You have a node-locked (single) license.
• You intend to use a Windows machine as a floating license server. In this case, you must install the Autodesk Alias software. Go to Activating Alias from a serial number or Installing a license.
• You intend to use a Windows machine as a floating license server and as a working machine. Go to Activating Alias from a serial number or Installing a license.

In some cases, you may want to set up a floating license server on platforms other than Windows. Or, you may want to set up a dedicated license server on Windows machines without installing the Autodesk Alias software.

In these cases, you cannot use the Product Configuration Wizard for license installation. If you are setting up a server on a platform other than Windows, you must download the appropriate license tool software from the Autodesk website.

To set up the license software

1. Go to http://www.autodesk.com/licensetools (You may have to register for this free service.)
2. From the Web site, open the installation instructions for the server machine’s operating system. From these instructions, find out how to locate the hardware ID for the server machine. Copy or write down this hardware ID.
3. Download and install the license tool software on the server machine, if required.
4. Submit your license request at http://www.autodesk.com/opa/.

   To submit your license request, you need to provide the serial number for the floating license you purchased, along with the hardware ID for the machine that will be the floating server.

5. Follow the installation instructions you downloaded to set up and configure the server and its clients.

If you do not have Internet access:

If you do not have Internet access, you need to phone in with the hardware ID for your server machine. Contact your Alias representative for details.
