So you need to manually activate your Autodesk Software? Follow these steps to complete the manual activation process:

After you install your software, you can use it on a trial basis until you receive your Activation Code from Autodesk. 

To generate a request code to activate your software:

1. Disable your Internet connection and launch your software. This is an offline process. The screens below only appear if your computer is not connected to the Internet.
    
2. Click the Activate button on the Free Trial screen.
   
   Note: Autodesk software products operate on a Free Trial license until activated. If you purchased your software and didn't use it as a Free Trial, you still need to activate your software from the Free Trial screen.
    
3. Enter your Serial Number and Product Key. Click Next.
4. Select Request an activation code using an offline method. Click Next.
   
   

    

5. Record the activation information provided.
   
   **You'll need your product name, serial number, product key, and request code when you submit your request for an activation code on another computer.

   You can file an email request using the address provided or visit cromwellpsi.com

   
   The request code shown is for example only and will not work if used.  
   
   

6. Click Close to resume using your software in Free Trial mode while the request is being processed.

2. Request an Activation Code

To activate your software offline, complete an Activation Code request on a computer that does have Internet access.

To activate your software manually:

1. Disable your Internet connection, start the software, and click the Activate button on the Free Trial screen.

   Note: You will only see manual activation screens if you are using a computer that has no active Internet connection. 

   Autodesk software products operate on a Free Trial license until activated. If you purchased your software and didn't use it as a Free Trial, you still need to activate your software from the Free Trial screen.

Please Note:

Valid Serial Number Required: You'll need a valid serial number and matching product key. Before starting, be sure to find your serial number and matching product key.

We hope the information outlined above helps you get your Autodesk Software up-and-running but if you run into any issues, please do not hesitate to contact our Technical Support Team below!

You may need a serial number and product key to activate some Autodesk software. 

Note: If you are on subscription, you may no longer need to enter a serial number or product key; you just need to sign in. Serial numbers are never required for launching products with network licenses.

Physical Media

Serial Numbers do not appear on software packaging for Autodesk software versions and newer. Serial numbers for these versions are emailed to you after you place an order or can be found in Autodesk Account.

If you have physical media (a DVD or USB key) for a or earlier product, your serial number and product key will be printed on the label of the product packaging.

 
Example of label from version. Format is similar for - product releases.

Older product keys

If you can't find the product key for older versions of Autodesk software ( and later), you may be able to find it in a text file in the installation folder.

To determine if your product key is available in your installation folder:

1. Using your installation media, (USB key, DVD, download folder, etc.) navigate to the folder that contains the cromwellpsi.com file for your Autodesk product.
2. In that folder, look for a file named cromwellpsi.com, MIDtxt, MIDtxt or some variation on that name.
3. Open this file in Notepad and verify that the product name is correct.
4. The first five characters of the part number should also be the product key for that product.

Example:

MID: Autodesk_Design_Suite_Ultimate__64bit_SWL_ENU_C_EXE1
Product Name: Autodesk Design Suite Ultimate
Platform: Windows XP/Vista/Win7
Media: ESD
Part Number: D1YPE, D1YPE
