Locating Your Serial Number And Product Key - Autodesk AUTOCAD 2010 - STAND-ALONE Manual

You do not need administrator permissions to run AutoCAD. You can run the
program as a limited user.

Locating Your Serial Number and Product Key

When you install AutoCAD, you are prompted for your serial number and
product key in the Product and User Information page. The serial number and
product key are located on the outside of the product packaging, or in the
email you received if you downloaded your product. Make sure to have these
available before you install the program so that you don't have to stop in the
middle of the installation.
The serial number must contain a three-digit prefix followed by an eight-digit
number. The product key consists of five digits.
The information you enter is permanently retained with the product. Because
you can't change this information later without uninstalling, take care when
entering the information. To review this product information later, on the
InfoCenter toolbar, click the drop-down arrow next to the Help button (the
question mark). Then click About.
NOTE If you have lost your serial number or product key, contact the Autodesk
Business Center (ABC) at 800-538-6401 for assistance.
