To find your serial number and product key
Depending on the type of license you purchase, you may be prompted for a serial number and product key during product activation.
There are various ways to find this information, depending on how you obtained your software.
Autodesk Store
If you ordered your product from the online Autodesk Store, the serial number and product key are in the Fulfillment Notification email.
Autodesk Account
- Sign in to Autodesk Account and click the Management tab.
- In the Products & Services section, locate your product.
- Expand the product details to find your serial number and product key.
Autodesk Account: contract details
If you are a software coordinator or contract manager, Autodesk Account provides serial numbers and product keys for all products on your subscription contract.
- Sign in to Autodesk Account and click Contracts and Orders from the main menu on the left.
- Click the appropriate contract number.
The serial numbers and product keys are in the Serial/Key column for each product on your subscription contract.
Education Community (students and teachers)
If you obtain student software by using the Install Now download method, your serial number and product key are automatically entered during installation. If you still need to find this information, sign in to the Education Community website and follow these steps:
- Click My Account in the blue box on the right.
- At the top of the screen, click Account.
- On the left, click Products. Then click Download Products.
- Select Content Type > Serial Number.
Product key: Installation media or download folder
If you can’t locate your product key using the previous methods, follow these steps:
- Using your installation media (USB key, DVD, download folder, and so on) navigate to the setup.exe file for your Autodesk product.
- In that folder, look for a file with a name similar to MID.txt (for example, MID01.txt or MID02.txt).
- Open this file in a text editor (such as Notepad) and verify that the product name is what you expect it to be.
- Look for the part number. The first five characters of the part number are also the product key for that product.
