How can I update a current license with a new one?

I have 3ds Max Design 2013 installed at home using one of our home use licenses. These licenses are usually for a 12 month period, and they expire. I just sat down and opened up the application and it's now expired but I can't find a way to update to the new license information. I have the new info from logging into my company's VPN.

 

Worst case scenario I gotta wait until Monday to get with our Autodesk software admin, but had an open evening as well as a free day tomorrow to fiddle around and thought I'd see if someone knew so I could get some much needed personal time in.

 

Thanks in advance! :)

Usually the about dialog will have a models dialog for licensing. Here you can see about borrowing licenses, identifying licenses servers, etc etc.

 

I haven't heard of Autodesk or re-sellers citing a 'home use' license. That sounds more of a company nomenclature. It does sound like you borrowed a license. Make sure you are connected to the domain so flexnet can check another for you.

 

Best of luck.

That's the problem, I can't get past the Activate Splash screen at all. When I run through all the possible prompts there's no option to update the license - just stays stuck on the current license.

I did not transfer/borrow a license: Home Use licensing is a common thing from Autodesk and is written in the EULA. I work for a very large company and we have home licensing options available to us with specific licensing information.
