Registering Inventor 8?

[James114]

I know about calling in every "request code" and if you want to install all four AutoDesk Design Academy programs. Each has its own unique "request code" meaning that there are 104 request codes to call in if you want to register all four products. You would think they would want to make it easy or somthing.

I know in the past, I have been able to e-mail Autodesk for authorization codes in batches (Autodesk ACES package). Which means you need to install on all machines, copy down the request codes and e-mail them all at once. This is a bit easier than calling each on individually.

I too ran into this problem, but have yet had time to call Autodesk to resolve it.

I'll try to due this tomorrow, its been on my list all week. I'll let you know how we make out.

my doubt comes even before this FLEXIm stuff

should I Install the "single user" option in all the computers of the network and register them 1 by 1 or install by the "network" choice?
I dont know what Host name and Host ID are, we talked to the network admins and they don't know that too.
can anyone help me on that?
I'm lost =(


my e-mail and IM:
zzdanielzz@terra.com.br
thanks

Just email: authcodes@autodesk.com

In the body put:

Hello,

My name is NAME.

The product I have is the Autodesk Design Academy with serial number:
SN-SN.

I am requesting an authorization code for Inventor 8. The request code
is: BLAH

Thank you very much,

NAME

I just copy and past the same email with a different request number for each license i want to authorize. They'll reply within a couple hours (if it's in the middle of the day). I think that's a lot easier than having to copy down that long string off the phone

so I must install the "single user license" in each computer of my network?

No.. If you're doing a network instillation.. i guess you should be able to the network license thing. But if you're stations don't have distributed applications, you would want to single user license them all.

Also, with regards to what i said yesterday about what you need to include in the email. Autodesk actually wants a little more info. (They accecpted my first two registrations with only the name.. but they wanted more the third time.. go figure.. lol)

Of course, also be sure to include the Product (Inventor 8), the SN and the Request code.

Does FIRST let us do it as a network license or does it have to be 25 individual licenses. Anyway, I had to authorize everything this year by e-mail since the automatic registration didn't work for any of the software, but the e-mail went without a hitch and a response usually came within a few hours.
