You would like to know how to transfer your Autodesk software license using the Online License Transfer Utility.
How To
The Online License Transfer allows standalone licenses to be moved between machines. It can be used on 2010 and newer version products. To transfer licenses, both the Source, and Target machine must have exactly the same software version and serial number installed.
Start the Online License Transfer utility by selecting Start > All Programs > Autodesk > [Product & version] > License Transfer Utility (Figure 1).

Once you have logged in, the License Export dialog is displayed (Figure 4). The default export type is "Private". This means that to import the license, you will need to log into the Autodesk Online License Transfer utility on your Target machine. To make the license transfer "Public", tick the "Make the license available as a public import" checkbox. This will mean that anybody can log into the Online License Transfer utility, and as long as the serial numbers on Target and Source machine match, the license will import (so, a colleague can log in and import the license, for example).

Click Export. - a "Please wait while License is exported..." message is displayed.
Once the license has been exported, the Export Success dialog will display (Figure 5).
Once you have exported your license, you may import it onto any Source machine that shares the same Serial number on both Source and Target machine.
When you start your Autodesk software on your Target machine, you will be prompted with the following dialog stating that the license has been exported. Select "Import the License" (Figure 6).
