I know that I need to apply SP2 to AutoCad 2013 to run 8.1, so I'll do that. I plan to do an in-place OS upgrade on my workstation to go from Windows 7 to 8.1. Can I do that directly without worries, or should I use the 'License Transfer Utility' applied to AutoCad during the OS upgrade?
Again, I'll not be moving to a different workstation, but simply upgrading the OS on the same workstation. Some of the support info suggests using the 'License Transfer Utility' during an OS upgrade, but it is not clear if it is really necessary.Any real-world experience or recommendations on this issue?

I was trying to understand if using the license transfer utility would cause more headaches than benefit?
