Autodesk AliasStudio 2008 is a full feature release. Customers who obtain Autodesk AliasStudio 2008 software will require new Autodesk AliasStudio 2008 licenses.

For your ease, Autodesk has implemented an on-line and automated solution for you to obtain your upgraded license.

When installed, the updated license will continue to work with previous versions of Autodesk AliasStudio (back to version 9.5).

After installation you can visit our Autodesk AliasStudio Community for the latest news, stories, plug-ins, shaders, learning tools, and more.

The Webkey application reports whether or not a license was successfully found and installed. If no licenses were found, you can try the following options:

  • If you are a Platinum Member with Super User privileges, go to www.autodesk.com/aicm and access your license entitlements at your site. For information about AICM and becoming a Super User, please see www.autodesk.com/aicm-faq.
