Autodesk inventor 2009 serial key or number

MDT is 2009, so needs to be activated with the Inventor 2009 suite serial, which is different from your 2012 serial. You have to goto your subscription website and request an old version serial for the 2009 suite - use this serial to unlock MDT. Yes, it's a real mess.

And yes, when they stop allowing us to get 2009 serial numbers (next year?) everything will go v v bad. Why they can't incorporate the MDT translator into Inventor to prevent the need to install MDT at all is beyond me (and something that should have been done a LONG time ago).

So I Can't do activation. How I will solve I don't know!:( As I posted before, the Inventor 2012 code will not work, you NEED an Inventor 2009 code.

You find information about your license type and associated serial numbers (if any) in these locations, and save the information in a text file if needed.

I had a similar problem when I was trying to use a 2011 code to activate it, I emailed Autodesk and this was the reply: 'Please note that you are required to submit your previous version serial number request online via Subscription Center. As the installed version is 2009, we would need to issue a serial number for this version first. Once you have received the serial number, please try again and if the online activation would fail we can manually generate the activation code. Please follow the below information in order to submit your previous version request. In order to activate the requested product version, please login to Subscription Center to request a serial number of the version that you require.

Please note that only Contract Manager and Software Coordinator are able to apply for the Previous Version Serial Number. Login to Subscription Center - Click Subscription Administration - Click Request Previous Version - Select Deployment - Complete Previous Version Request Form and submit it Thank you for contacting Autodesk.' So, goto and request a previous version of Inventor (asking for 2009) to get a 2009 serial, which you then use to unlock MDT 2009.
