[. . . ] In this section, you learn about migrating from previous releases, using customized files from previous releases, and locating customized files. Migrate Custom Settings and Files from Previous Releases You can migrate your custom settings and files from previous releases of AutoCAD to your new release. It is recommended that you migrate from a previous release right away. This prevents you from overwriting files or having to keep track of any custom settings you may make in the new release. You can use the following tools to migrate settings and files: Migrate Custom Settings dialog box. Migrates user profiles, CUI files, AutoCAD and user-defined linetype files, AutoCAD and user-defined hatch patterns, and the acad. pgp file (a file that stores command definitions and aliases). The Migrate Custom Settings dialog box is displayed when you start the product for the first time. Converts legacy menu files (MNU and MNS) to the CUI format while leaving the original MNU or MNS file unchanged. Migrating user interface elements, transferring data between customized files, and customizing user interface elements are simplified in 25 this dialog box. For more information about the CUI format and how migration of menu files has been simplified, see Customize the User Interface in the Customization Guide. Migration tools. Aid migration of settings or files that cannot be automatically migrated (such as AutoLISP® files and the accompanying MNL files) or that require you to make a decision about which files to migrate (such as which files in a set of drawing files). Download these migration tools by visiting www. autodesk. com and then performing a search on Migration Tools. NOTE For information about customizing files and settings, see the Customization Guide, accessible from the Documentation link on the AutoCAD Installation wizard and in the Help system. Migrate Custom Settings If you install AutoCAD on a computer where a previous release of the AutoCAD product is installed, you can migrate some custom settings from a previous release to your newer AutoCAD product. If the CUI file is supplied by Autodesk, the custom changes made to the file are migrated to the newer version of the CUI file. If the CUI file is not supplied by Autodesk, the file is migrated and is copied to where the main CUI file is located, unless the CUI file is in a network location. In that case, the file is migrated but is not copied to the location of the main CUI file. You must migrate them manually. *. mnu *. mns Contains menu customization from a version of an AutoCAD earlier than AutoCAD 2006. *. cui Contains customizations from a version of an AutoCAD starting with AutoCAD 2006. 28 | Chapter 2 Migrating and Customizing Before the MNU, MNS, and CUI files are migrated, a backup copy of each file is saved in the following directory: (Windows XP) <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user profile>\Application Data\Autodesk\<product version>\<release number>\<language>\Previous Version Custom Files (Windows Vista) <drive>:\Users\<user profile>\Application Data\Autodesk\<product version>\<release number>\<language>\Previous Version Custom Files NOTE Other custom settings and files can be migrated using Autodesk migration tools. For more information about migration tools, see Use Migration Tools on page 31.

[. . . ] If you need to run more systems, you need to purchase more stand-alone licensed products, or consider converting to multi-seat stand-alone licenses. However, a multi-seat stand-alone licensed version is available that does not rely upon servers to maintain licenses. Multi-seat stand-alone licensing means that each installation of your product uses a single serial number for registration and activation. 48 | Chapter 3 Installation Troubleshooting What is the benefit of using a network licensed version of the software? Network licensed products are recommended for large drafting/design facilities, classrooms, and lab environments. The main advantage is that you can install products on more systems than the number of licenses you have purchased (for example, purchasing 25 licenses but installing on 40 workstations). [. . . ]
