Obtaining Authorization

Before you can begin using the AdLM software, you
need to email Autodesk the registration information
so the license can be installed on the server.
Note: There is no grace period that will allow you to
run AdLM while you're waiting for your FLEXlm
license.
To obtain a valid license for running AdLM, you
need to send Autodesk information about your
software and system. You will need to send the
following information:
• Product serial number(s). The serial number is
located on a sticker on the combustion product
box.
• Server name (system name).
• Host ID number (Ethernet Address).
• An e-mail address where Autodesk can send the
license file.
• Registration information (Name, Address, Phone).
When you have all the necessary information,
contact the Autodesk Registration and
Authorization office. The Autodesk Registration and
