Register and Activate AutoCAD

The first time you start AutoCAD, the Product Activation wizard is displayed.
You can either activate AutoCAD at that time or run AutoCAD and activate
it later. Until you register and enter a valid activation code for AutoCAD, you
are operating the program in trial mode and the Product Activation wizard is
displayed for 30 days from the first time that you run the program.
If after 30 days of running AutoCAD in trial mode you have not registered
and provided a valid activation code, your only option is to register and
activate AutoCAD. You will not be able to run in trial mode after the 30 days
expires. Once you register and activate AutoCAD, the Product Activation
wizard is no longer displayed.
The fastest and most reliable way to register and activate your product is by
using the Internet. Simply enter your registration information and send it to
Autodesk over the Internet. Once you submit your information, registration
and activation occur quickly.
