This article was written to help customers who have decided to make the transition from the Network License model to the new Named User model, thereby taking advantage of the 2-for-1 trade-in. In order to make this transition as smooth as possible, it is imperative that the following be done immediately after receiving confirmation of your order.
Once the transition has been activated in the Autodesk system, the network installs will need to be reassigned as Single User seats. The current license file is encoded to expire 30 days after the contract's expiration date, so that does give you some time before the license manager stops working. In summary, these steps will need to occur before the new contract goes "live."
