How do I transfer my AutoCAD settings and license to another computer?

AutoCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Autodesk, widely used for designing, drafting, and modeling in both 2D and 3D. It is employed by professionals such as architects, engineers, and designers to create, modify, and share design drawings. The AutoCAD license transfer refers to the process of moving an AutoCAD software license from one device or user to another. This typically occurs when the software needs to be used on different computers, there's a change in work devices, or when license sharing takes place among team members. To facilitate a license transfer, users generally need to manage their licenses through Autodesk's account management system and follow specific steps to activate or deactivate the software. Please note that license transfers may be subject to the terms of Autodesk's licensing agreement.

AutoCAD is a commercial computer-aided design and drafting software application used for 2D drawing, detailed drawings, design documentation, and basic 3D design.

It allows for the automatic generation of graphics without the need for programming, and is widely used globally in fields such as civil architecture, decoration, industrial drawing, engineering drafting, electronics, and garment manufacturing.

AutoCAD License Transfer

Subscription: If you have a subscription, you don't have to transfer licenses between computers because the license allows you to use the software on multiple PCs.

Older products (standalone perpetual licenses): If you have this type of license, you need to use the License Transfer Utility to transfer the license.

You can manually move an AutoCAD license regardless of the type of licensing you use.

How to use Todo PCTrans to transfer Autocad to a new computer: 1. First, download and install the Todo PCTrans software on your old computer. Make sure you obtain it from the official website or a trusted source for safety and compatibility. 2. After installation, launch the Todo PCTrans program.

In the following screen, Todo PCTrans will prompt you to create a transfer task. Click the "New Task" button to start configuring. 4. Enter a name for the new task, such as "Autocad Transfer," then click "Next" to proceed. 5. Under "Source Computer," select your old computer and ensure it's connected to the internet. For "Destination Computer," enter the new computer's IP address or connect via QR code scanning. The new computer should also have Todo PCTrans installed and running in receive mode. 6. Once both computers are connected, choose the "Programs" tab. In the displayed list, locate and check the box next to the Autocad-related applications. 7. If you need to transfer Autocad-related data files or settings, switch to the "Files" or "Folders" tabs and manually select the desired files or folders for transfer. 8.
