Autodesk License Patcher (based on the Autodesk NLM Crack made by Team MAGNITUDE) is a patch tool that permanently activates Autodesk’s entire family of products by cracking Autodesk Network License Manager (NLM). It can activate all Autodesk 2020-2023 products locally, offline and permanently.

Due to the cumbersome steps and low success rate of manual operation of the popular Network License Manager based activation method made by MAGNiTUDE, someone integrated it using batch script, simplified the processing steps and optimized the activation process, so as to realize the automatic and unattended detection and activation in the whole process.

Autodesk License Patcher will permanently license all Autodesk products via NLM, no activation code or product key is required. It works by removing Autodesk’s account login component, authentication component, desktop application and so on authentication mechanisms. The entire activation process is fully automatic, without any manual intervention, and only needs to be performed once. Even better, the activated Autodesk products support both offline and online use.

// Supported Products //

  • Autodesk 2020 all products
  • Autodesk 2021 all products
  • Autodesk 2022 all products
  • Autodesk 2023 all products
  • ….

// What it does //

Take Autodesk Maya 2023 for example:

  • Delete Autodesk Single Sign On Component (x64\AdSSO)
  • Delete Autodesk Desktop App (x86\ADSKAPP)
  • Delete Autodesk Genuine Service (x64\AGS)
  • Remove AGS and ADSKAPP execution code (manifest\app.maya.xml)
  • Remove AdSSO execution code (x64\Maya\pkg.maya.xml)

// Working Process //

Autodesk License Patcher automates all steps without having to do it manually:

  1. Place and replace necessary files
  2. Edit the host name and MAC address in the license file
  3. Create a task to start the authorization service
  4. Block software license file from being authenticated online
  5. Restart the license service in the correct manner
  6. Start the Network License Manager

// Installation Notes //

  1. Download and install your Autodesk product, do not launch program (or exit program)
  2. Run Autodesk License Patcher as administrator, and wait
  3. Run your Autodesk product, select “Use A Network License“, select “Single License Server” as license server model, and input “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” as server name
  4. Done

// Prompts //

  • If you restart the tool, it will uninstall itself first and then reinstall itself.
  • To uninstall and restore all the changes made by this tool, use the Autodesk License Patcher Uninstaller.
  • Due to NLM restrictions, it is recommended to use only one version of the NLM crack and one version of the same product.
  • After a system reboot, the automatic service will start and refresh ADSKService + NLM to fix any possible problems. This takes 7-10 seconds, so wait about 10 seconds before running any Autodesk application.
  • The “ComputerName” should remain unchanged after activation. This patch will set it to “Administrator”, please do not change. If you need to change “ComputerName”, you can decompress the patch and manually edit the license.lic file and service script before using it.

// Warning //
