Hi all,
I have a query which may or may not be easily solved. Basically, my company has a limited number of AutoCAD licences and with recent turnover in staff not being direct like-for-like replacement (i.e. a new guy stepping straight in to the old one's PC), the responsibility for CAD drawings has been taken on by someone whose work station does not have the programme. In a nutshell, we want to transfer it to the new guy, without having to pay £££ for another licence. Can this be done and if so, how can it be transferred without IT issues? Thanks. |

There are various possible solutions.
An obvious one is to install Autocad on the desktops that need it, then have the {restricted number of} licences on the server to use on a 'first there first served basis'. Your local distributor should be able to assist with the various options. |

Regarding the above, we already have it on 2 PCs, one of which is our CAD Engineer's and one no longer used by a CAD Engineer. So... will it be possible to do as you suggest by firstly just uninstalling it from the PC which isn't using it any longer, then re-installing it on the one that we now wish to use it, or will it be blocked due to anti-piracy? |

There's no piracy involved.
Autocad are happy to have multiple installations with restricted usage. Don't uninstall unless you need to. The software 'install' is free - it's the licence that you pay for. |

If you have an old computer that still has it on there, don't go out of your way to remove it, since it's not actively being used. |
