Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2012 X64 Full Version
Julio Cesar Thap
It sounds like its a perpetual license and your company has already reached the activation limit. How many times have you installed and activated this product design suite? To resolve this you will have to contact Autodesk >>here
Everybody has access to chat (with Autodesk). But there's different departments (or chat with Autodesk Agent) depending on your given issue. Web support (that you have) is based on what's called as Autodesk Basic support. You simply log a support case through your Autodesk Account and then Autodesk will email you the solutions or things for you to try. They may end up calling you if the problem is unable to be resolved over email but all communication is through emails. Support through your Autodesk account is automatically assigned to the contract manager and software coordinator for you company's subscription. The contract manager or software coordinator can also assign this benefit to the users that are assigned to the subscription.
Now if your Product Design Suite license is term based then you are entitled to install this software on many machines and the authorization (activation) is done through the named account. Meaning you don't have to use the License Transfer Utility or get an activation code. However the named account assigned the benefit of using this product can only use the product on one machine at one given time.
In the end I would suggest that if you got your product installed from a source that is non-Autodesk related and/or using a "crack" code method to activate your product, then you should avoid these at all cost. Your information is linked back to the company you work for. Are you willing to take those risk and have your company fined? What would your company think of that? Do you think you would still be employed there?
The problem is solved now when I got hold of the admin. We had unused workstations from former employees which took up license seats. I believed the license was bound to the user but apparently we use the same serial and key for all users. After this mess we're going to use the other solution for easier administration of the licenses.
You originally stated that you downloaded and installed from a non-Autodesk location. This could mean many things and since you also stated "cracking", that only leads to more suspicion on my part. There are certain individuals that come here, that have cracked the code or have done something illegally to activate their Autodesk product and are looking for assistance. I will not take part in this activity and when I see key words in a given posting, I will question it or throw up those red flags.
Having software installed from a non-Autodesk location could contain information that leads to piracy.. So it can matter... I don''t know where you downloaded it from and I can only go by what you are saying in your posting.
Now you are stating we would set up a local server due to a given location as scenario. I understand and that's fine but you need to be clear about that information in your posting. Other users may assist you and not question anything but I'm going to continue questions these type of things when it appears in postings.
Remember we are only users here and since I have an Expert Elite status I have an obligation of supporting other users. But at the same time if I feel like you are doing something illegally I don't have to take part in supporting you. If others what to that's fine.. So understand it from my perspective..
Yes I downloaded from an non-Autodesk source and my point and opinion is that I don't think it matters if the source is a pirate site or a server at our office since I have a legally obtained license, as long as the source files hasn't been tampered with.
The cracking was mentioned during a weak moment due to frustration. I wanted to point out that it would be so much easier for me to just crack the software and continue with my work. Legally obtained software must come with benefits such as easy setup and pirated software can never be better or more convenient if piracy is to be fought.
In this case Autodesk aren't to blame for anything, in contrary they should be praised since they now have developed an alternate and better solution for handling licenses for multiple users. The problem was that my company hadn't jumped on that train (which I assumed) so we were using the old way of handling licenses which led to confusion on my part.
I always try to be as clear as possible but as I said, English is not my native language so I often unintentionally create confusion. My way of handling the problem is with long texts with a lot of details in it which is probably counterproductive.
Thank you for participating in our Community! I just want to let you know that Design Suites only include the free version Recap, NOT ReCap Pro. When you install ReCap from design suites you may have Pro version for first 30 days then it will go down to free version. You can still use ReCap and do not need to activate product. Please, let me know if this helps.
Yes indeed, very misleading. i started a big project thinking i owned the recap pro, i need to make a mesh from a point cloud. finding out that i just cant do it and need to buy the pro version. i already invested a lot of money in the scans.
Product keys are required for installation of Autodesk products and are used to differentiate products that are both sold independently and as part of a product suite. With the recent release of Autodesk 2015 products, we bring you a new list of products keys.
Note: Please ensure you are using the correct product key for the Autodesk product and version you are installing. Entering an incorrect product key will result in activation errors for that product.

Autodesk, Inc. is an American multinational software corporation that provides software products and services for the architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, education, and entertainment industries. Autodesk is headquartered in San Francisco, California,[2] and has offices worldwide. Its U.S. offices are located in the states of California, Oregon, Colorado, Texas, Michigan, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Its Canada offices are located in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta.
The company was founded in 1982 by John Walker, who was a coauthor of the first versions of AutoCAD. AutoCAD is the company's flagship computer-aided design (CAD) software and, along with its 3D design software Revit, is primarily used by architects, engineers, and structural designers to design, draft, and model buildings and other structures. Autodesk software has been used in many fields, and on projects from the One World Trade Center[3] to Tesla electric cars.[4]
Autodesk's Media and Entertainment division creates software for visual effects, color grading, and editing as well as animation, game development, and design visualization.[7] 3ds Max and Maya are both 3D animation software used in film visual effects and game development
The company was founded by John Walker and a team of programmers in 1982.[8] Walker founded the company after acquiring Interact, a computer-aided design program that operated on microcomputers running the 8-bit CP/M operating system and two of the new 16-bit systems, the Victor 9000 and the IBM Personal Computer (PC). This tool provided made it affordable for smaller design, engineering, and architecture companies to create detailed technical drawings. The program had been developed by Michael Riddle in 1979. Riddle had struggled to sell the program, and agreed to sell it to Walker in exchange for royalties. The program was further developed and renamed AutoCAD.[9][10]
Release 2.1 of AutoCAD, released in 1986, included AutoLISP, a built-in Lisp programming language interpreter initially based on XLISP.[12] This opened the door for third party developers to extend AutoCAD's functionality, to address a wide range of vertical markets, strengthening AutoCAD's market penetration.
Subsequent to AutoCAD Release 13, the company stopped supporting the Unix environment and the Apple Macintosh platform. After AutoCAD Release 14 (R13 was last DOS & Unix release), first shipped in 1997, Autodesk discontinued development under DOS, and focused exclusively on Microsoft Windows.
AutoCAD has grown to become the most widely used CAD program for 2D non-specialized applications.[13] The native file formats written by AutoCAD, DXF and DWG, are also widely used for CAD data interoperability.
Walker remained a programmer at Autodesk until 1994, when he left due to disagreements with changes at the company.[8] With the purchase of Softdesk in 1997, Autodesk started to develop specialty versions of AutoCAD, targeted to broad industry segments, including architecture, civil engineering, and manufacturing. Since the late 1990s, the company has added several significant non-AutoCAD-based products, including Revit, a parametric building modeling application (acquired in 2002, from Massachusetts-based Revit Technologies for $133 million), and Inventor, an internally developed parametric mechanical design CAD application.
In 2007, Timothy Vernor sued Autodesk (Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc.), alleging that he was entitled to resell "used" copies of AutoCAD software on eBay. He had obtained the software from an Autodesk licensee at an office liquidation sale.[14] A federal district judge in Washington denied Autodesk's initial motion to dismiss in early 2008. In February and March 2009, both sides filed motions for summary judgment addressing the issue whether the First Sale Doctrine applies to previously licensed software.[15] The Court ruled in Vernor's favor, holding that when the transfer of software to the purchaser materially resembled a sale (non-recurring price, right to perpetual possession of copy) it was, in fact, a "sale with restrictions on use"[16] giving rise to a right to resell the copy under the first-sale doctrine. As such, Autodesk could not pursue an action for copyright infringement against Vernor, who sought to resell used versions of its software on eBay. Autodesk appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which reversed the lower court ruling, denying Vernor the right to resale Autodesk software due to Autodesk's nontransferable licensing restrictions.[17] In October 2011, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.[18]
