I just upgraded 40 seats of AutoCAD 2000 to 2004. The salesman told me he could send six packages of ACAD so I don't have 40 boxes of the software to store somewhere. That's fine with me, I don't want all the boxes, I said. He tells me I will have six serial numbers. One can be used on 35 computers plus the other 5 = 40 total seats. Fine.
Today, I got the package. I went to the Website and entered my six serial numbers. It responded with a authorization code and sent an email copy to me for each one. I did NOT get a code for the one that is to be used multiple times. It did say it was successfully registered and authorized.
Here's a copy of the email (obviously I put in the Xs). No authcode is shown where it appears in the other messages.
-------- Serial Number/Group ID: 341-XXXXXXXX
