---------------------------------The following three utilities are provided to assist Autodesk
Product Support in identifying the current state of your AutoCADbased product. All of these utilities are installed in your AutoCAD-based product's Support directory. Prodscan.exe -----------Purpose: Detects all installed Autodesk products from AutoCAD 2000i and later releases, and lists information about each product. The information is displayed in a Windows Command Prompt window and is output to a text file named adskprodinfo.txt, in the Support directory of your AutoCAD-based product. To start Prodscan: 1. Open a Windows Command prompt window or a DOS window. 2. Make the Support directory of your AutoCAD-based product your current directory. For example, you can enter the following: cd \program files\autocad 2000i\support 3. Enter the following command: prodscan Vercheck.arx -----------Purpose: Displays package- or product-level information for the product that is currently running. The information is displayed in the Command window of the AutoCAD-based product. To start Vercheck: 1. Start your AutoCAD-based product. 2. In the AutoCAD-based product's Command window, enter the following command: appload 3. In the Load/Unload Applications dialog box, browse to the Support folder and select vercheck.arx. 4. Choose Load, and then choose Close. 5. In the AutoCAD-based product's Command window, enter the following: vercheck or: vercheckall Note: For LT users, step 2, 3, 4 are not necessary. You have to call "acinfomsi" command at least once before issuing "vercheck" or "vercheckall" command. Otherwise those commands will not be recognized by LT. Acinfomsi.lsp (Acinfomsi.fas for AutoCAD LT) -------------------------------------------Purpose: Displays product information for the product that
is currently running. The information is written to
a text file named acinfomsi.txt, in the installation directory of your AutoCAD-based product. To start Acinfomsi: 1. Start your AutoCAD-based product. 2. In the AutoCAD-based product's Command window, enter the following command: appload 3. In the Load/Unload Applications dialog box, browse to the Support folder and select acinfomsi.lsp. 4. Choose Load, and then choose Close. 5. In the AutoCAD-based product's Command window, enter the following: acinfomsi Note: For LT users, only step 5 is necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------Interpreting the Output ----------------------Product Code:
