About AutoDesk Licensing

New Licensing Model

AutoDesk has moved away from serial numbers and now requires users to log in with an AutoDesk account to access software like AutoCAD.  At UW-Green Bay, these accounts are tied to your campus credentials and access is granted based on your assigned products.  Unfortunately, new users will not have any AutoDesk products assigned automatically.  New users will need to request access to specific AutoDesk products (see Requesting Access).  

Steps to Sign In to AutoDesk Apps

  1. Open the App

    • Launch an AutoDesk product, such as AutoCAD, from the Start Menu.

  2. Sign In with Your UWGB Account

    • After launching, a browser window will open. Enter your full campus email address (e.g., smithjd01@uwgb.edu) and click Next.
