License Type: Network License

This is a Network License, meaning it can be shared among multiple users within your organization. Licenses are managed by a central license server, allowing for flexible access based on concurrent usage. This is a cost-effective solution for teams where not all users require access to the software simultaneously.

Please ensure your IT infrastructure supports Autodesk Network License Manager for the 2018 version. Verify system requirements for all included software components before purchase.
