Autodesk uses the server host name, host ID, and
product serial number to generate a license file.
To obtain the information manually, you can
use the command prompt or you can run the lmtools.exe utility.
If you use lmtools.exe, do not run it on
a remote workstation.

the following command, and then press ENTER:

- Locate the Physical Address line. Write
down the physical address without the dashes. This is your

a physical network adapter. To determine which adapters are physical:
in the Windows command prompt, enter ipconfig /all,
and then view the Description field above each physical address.

matter which one you use. Devices such as VPN adapters, PPP adapters,
