How Do I Remove AutoCAD License From My Computer?

If you are looking to remove an AutoCAD license from your computer, you have come to the right place. Whether you want to deactivate the license for troubleshooting purposes or because you no longer need it, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process.

Step 1: Open the Autodesk License Manager

The first step is to open the Autodesk License Manager. To do this, follow these simple steps:

  1. Click on the “Start” button on your desktop.
  2. Type “Autodesk License Manager” in the search bar.
  3. Click on the “Autodesk License Manager” application from the search results.

Step 2: Deactivate Your License

In the Autodesk License Manager window, you will see a list of products that are activated on your computer. Find the AutoCAD product and follow these steps to deactivate its license:

  1. Select the AutoCAD product by clicking on it.
  2. Click on the “Deactivate” button.

Note: If you have multiple versions of AutoCAD installed, make sure to deactivate licenses for all desired versions individually.

Step 3: Confirm Deactivation

After clicking on the “Deactivate” button, a confirmation window will appear. This window will display information about your license and ask if you want to proceed with deactivation. Follow these steps:

  1. Carefully review the information presented in the confirmation window.
  2. If everything looks correct, click on the “Yes” or “OK” button to confirm the deactivation.

Step 4: License Deactivated

Once you have confirmed the deactivation, you will receive a notification confirming that your AutoCAD license has been successfully deactivated. You can now use this license on another computer or reactivate it on the same computer when needed.

Additional Tips:

  • If you encounter any issues during the deactivation process, make sure you are connected to the internet and try again.
  • If you are unable to find the Autodesk License Manager application, you may need to reinstall Autodesk software.
  • Remember to save any open work in AutoCAD before deactivating your license as it may close the program during the process.

Removing an AutoCAD license from your computer is a simple and straightforward process. By following these steps, you can easily deactivate your license and free it up for use on another computer or for reactivation in the future.
