Autodesk Inventor HSM Ultimate Installation Guide with Network Licensing

Transcription

1 Autodesk Inventor HSM Ultimate Installation Guide with Network Licensing Updated: 4/24/2018 Network Licensing is an option for Autodesk software. The licenses are hosted on the server that serves them to the clients when they are requested. There are five main steps for successful installation and setup. The server will need to install LMTools version 11.13, a Product Key and Serial Number from the Autodesk Education Community, a license created by the user in the Register Once Portal, and configuration with the new license in LMTools. The clients will need to have Inventor and HSM installed on them after the license server is set up.
