MAC version ?

I have the mac version somewhere. I'll see about uploading it later tonight for you if I don't end up going out with the gf.

i repeatedly get errors in the aw.dat, this:

C:\FLEXLM\aw.dat:line 2:Invalid parameter
Context: E0050FC2FA66EC
FLEXlm error: -42,298
C:\FLEXLM\aw.dat:line 2: "FEATURE AutodeskSketchBookPro sgiawd 2009 permanent uncounted \
..."
Hostid required for uncounted feature
Invalid license file syntax
FLEXlm error: -2,269
FEATURE AutodeskSketchBookPro sgiawd 2009 permanent uncounted \
DDBAD74AB6E2

any solution?

i didn't use your installer, i downloaded the trial from homepage, is this an issue?

Nevermind, it finally worked. I removed the first and last char from the ethernet address that I copied from sketchbook licensing. Apparently Windows has a 12char address and Mac has a 14char address. Thanks for the upload Mallion, greatly appreciated!

regards :)

HELP PLEASE ! I can't find Start>All Programs>Autodesk>Common Utilities>FlexLM License Utilities it dosen't appear what can I do pls help e-mail mechanicaljunkie@yahoo.com

I have tried and tried to get this to work. It says it worked and then I have restarted my computer. I start the program and it says it is still the trial version.

Can someone please send me better instructions for installing in Vista.

When I do get it to work can I delete FLEXLM folder?

got this to work. the important thing is that it wants your MAC address not the IP address. At the stage where you should replace host_id (or your_host, dun remember- anyhow the thing you need to replace).

1. Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar.
2. Click Run... on this menu.
3. Type cmd in the text box that appears. A command prompt window launches on the desktop.
4. In this command window, type ipconfig /all. Details are shown for each of the computer's network adapters. Computers installed with VPN software or emulation software will possess one or more virtual adapters.
5. The IP Address field states the current IP address for that network adapter.
6. The Physical Address field states the MAC address for that adapter.

7. REMEMBER to write the address without the "-"'s so it looks something like 02B32SDS92 and not 02B-32S-DS-92

I'm using WinXP and mines worked after following your advice to remove the first and last digit. Kudos!

@mechanicaljunkie
I used Autodesk > Sketchup Pro 2009 > Licensing = Went to Licensing Utility Tasks, and that's where I got my number.

I could not get to first base using this crack install ReadMe. It says:
'Goto Start>All Programs>Autodesk>Common Utilities>FlexLM License Utilities'
Well, there is no such thing as "Common Utilities" after "Autodesk" in All Programs and no sign of "FlexLM Licensing Utilities".
I had created FLEXLM in MyComputer>C:, as a folder named FLEXLM sitting alongside "Documents and Settings" folder, "WINDOWS" folder and "Program Files" folder. I also tried creating a FLEXLM folder in Program Files. This also did not work.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have the answer to shokan85's problem! To get the ethernet address, instead of going to start>all programs>autodesk>common utilities>flexlm license utilities. goto start>all programs>autodesk>sketchbook pro 2009>licensing. Then click the plus sign next to the part that says "licensing utility tasks", click on "show OPA hardware identifiers on this computer" then click next. click next again. now click "copy to clipboard". you now have your ethernet address ready to paste into "aw.dat". If you are using a windows computer, you must delete the first and last characters from the address after pasting it!!!

great tips ----- arstulex

worked fully well on win xp pro sp3 pc


many thanks

I tried everything.

I got the info loaded into aw.dat
the license seemingly went through but whenever I open up sketchbook it always says trial.

I'm clearly doing something wrong but I can't tell what that wrong step is...

Here's what I did:

1) Install Sketchbook Pro 2009 Trial from Autodesk's website

2) Make a folder on your C: drive called 'FLEXLM'

3) Copy the files 'aw.dat' and 'awkeygen.exe' to the 'FLEXLM' folder

4) Open a new DOS Command window (Start Menu > Run, then type 'CMD') and type 'ipconfig /all' in the Command window

5) Force open the file 'aw.dat' into a text editor and replace the 'your_host' with the 'Physical Address' of your PC (without the '-'). Save the file.

6) Drag and drop the 'aw.dat' file onto the 'awkeygen.exe' executable file to create a valid FlexLM license file

7) Run the 'Autodesk > Sketchbook Pro 2009 > Licensing' program

8) Select the option 'I have a license that I need to install' and point it to the 'aw.dat' file

If all is well, you should now have unlocked Autodesk SketchBook Pro 2009.

Thank You Maillion for an excellent upload!
Thank You yuriythebest for additional instructions!

Installed as instructed and now working like a charm.

GUYS i have a problem here...i finish the instructment that tried.n.tested give but i got problem at step 8. i puted my code in but i cant press the 'NEXT' . WHY PLS HELP ME I REALLY LIKE TO USE THIS PROGRAM HELP ME PLSS I BEG U ALL MALLION HELP PLS ANY1.. or did i miss do something..so that wat hapenn?

OR ADD ME PLS demonblood24@hotmail.com add me and teach pls... PLS PLSS T.T crying here =.=

I got up to step 7 from tried.n.tested's method, then I couldn't find that specific program. Here's whats on my computer.
Start>All programs>Autodesk>Sketchbook Pro 2009>Sketchbook Pro 2009 & Sketchbook Snapshot. There isn't a Autodesk > Sketchbook Pro 2009 > Licensing' program. What did I do wrong?

I figured it out. Installing the trial version from the website didn't do it for me, it complicated things, b/c when I installed that version, it didn't give me a licensing option. So, I uninstalled that version, installed the torrent version & all my woes & worries disappeared. Great torrent, thanks again to trien.n.tested. Everything else from your directions helped ALOT! Thanks

Works like a charm. Thank you!

Ta very much! Took a few mins of Eh?s,What?s and wtf?s but yep,just follow the install notepad(and a few bits of advice from previous 'borrowers' of this prog).Job done.
Cheers Mallion.

Hey guys, id just like to thank you for help. I downloaded this some time ago and when i tryed to install from file it said its invalid, now that i have deleted first and last number it works.
Thanks f_Alconer

i've gone down the list of instructions that seems to have worked for most everyone, except i'm still receiving an invalid msg when trying to install the license.

opening the aw.dat file shows there is an invalid license syntax?

re: my pc's physical address...when running ipconfig/all i show 4 different physical addresses, 2 are nothing but zeros and the other 2 are different addresses. i've tried each of the actual addresses, as well as just using zeros...and samething.

it wont allow me to add the license.

THANK U GUYS......it works..... cool....
thanks again....
i followed tested.n.tried. instructions........

Thanks Kalmly, worked perfect as you said for PC. Great brains.

Mac Version?Please
