In this directory you will find the Serial Number Harvester application that was originally included in the AutoCAD 2000/2000i Migration Assistance. The Serial Number Harvester simplifies your upgrade and authorization process by generating a report across your network containing the number of AutoCAD seats, their release versions and serial numbers. These reports may be printed and saved for later reference. To run this program, double-click the serharv.exe application or run the harvester.exe application in a DOS command window. Both applications can be found in the migrate subdirectory on this CD.

Additionally, there are several white papers on issues relating to migrating to AutoCAD 2002 and associated vertical products which can also be found in the Product Support section on Autodesk® Point A.
