Autodesk Product Support Utilities

----------------------------------
The following three utilities are provided to assist Autodesk
Product Support in identifying the current state of your AutoCAD-
based 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.
