Issue: You want to know the product key for your Autodesk® 2015 products. Solution: Product keys are required for installation of Autodesk products and are used to differentiate products that are both sold independently and as part of a product suite. For example, installing AutoCAD 2015 as a point product requires product key 001G1, but installing AutoCAD 2015 from the Autodesk Product Design Suite Ultimate 2015 requires product key 781G1.

Note : Please ensure you are using the correct product key for the Autodesk product and version you are installing. Entering an incorrect product key will result in activation errors for that product. The product keys for Autodesk 2015 products are as follows for download: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1REuRVDlgpt9npvRSgHD0j4VtClTE_NInB6GcQ0YXxbE/edit?usp=sharing    Source:  ...
