Autodesk Civil 3D is one of the most widely used software by civil engineers around the globe. Most of the infrastructure that we see around us has probably been planned, to some extent, with Autodesk Civil 3D. All buildings, airports, railways, roads, houses, hotels, and any other infrastructure that we can see, have been planned using this software to some extent. This tells us about the popularity and influence of Autodesk Civil 3D. It is an incredibly useful software, but it comes at quite a hefty price. This is because the software offers a comprehensive set of features and a range of unique attributes.

When you purchase software license keys/product keys, it's crucial to keep them secure and in a safe place because without them, you won't be able to activate the software during registration. It often happens that we lose the license key of a particular product that is already registered on our computers. In such a scenario, you should try to retrieve the key from the software itself, as getting the license key back from the company can be a long and cumbersome process that may take weeks and could require various proofs of purchase.

How to find your serial number and product key (manual method)

A yearly license for Autodesk Civil 3D costs almost $2,500, so a product key for such an expensive piece of software is undoubtedly worth hanging on to. Here are some ways to retrieve a lost serial number and product key from Autodesk Civil 3D software itself.

Method 1: Using the Orca MSI Editor Tool

Orca MSI Editor is a software that comes bundled with the Windows SDK, and it allows you to edit the MSI files of any software installed on your computer. MSI files are files used by the Windows operating system to store and create databases. Each application has its own separate database. By accessing the Autodesk Civil 3D application's database through this method, you can extract the product key and serial number from there.

Here are the steps to follow:

Step 1: Download the Orca MSI editing tool, available only with the Windows SDK. You will need to install the Windows SDK and then install Orca.exe from it.

Step 2. Once Orca is installed and launched, navigate to the Autodesk MSI file. It is usually located in the x64\acadcivil3d folder.

Step 3. Right-click on the file and select Edit with Orca. In the left pane, click on Property List, and then use the Find and Search option.

Step 4: Under Find and search, look for ProductCode.

Step 5: The product code will be displayed in the Value field.

Method 2: Using the Registry Editor

Alternatively, you can use the Registry Editor in Windows to find the product key for Autodesk Civil 3D, following these steps:

Step 1: Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.

Step 2. Type Regedit to open the Registry Editor.

Step 3: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\UPI2

Step 4. Your Autodesk Civil 3D product key will be located within this path.

Step Five: Write it down, and put it somewhere you'll see it.

Please note that both methods are quite complicated and can be used only if you are an advanced computer user. We recommend using a more secure and efficient software to find the serial number and product key for Autodesk Civil 3D.
