Installing AutoCAD
« on: January 07, 2008, 11:25:11 AM »
I want to install a copy of AutoCAD LT onto a laptop for use on site.

In our Dublin office we have a spare LT seat, could I use the discs from our Glasgow office to install this spare seat using Dublins spare licence code, or do I need to have the original disc to install from?

thanks.

Was just wondering about the legalities of using other discs.

I used to be a reseller, so I know these things.  Your OK using the disc
