Borrow the installations floppies(before)/CD(now) and install it localy at home 
or on his portable.
There is NO registration procedure at all, No serial number to enter, and you 
can leave all identification, but the name, blank. The name can be any 1 or more 
leters.
Autodesk don't mind. They know very well that they will never sell the regular 
version to individuals. They also know that an individual who have a "gray" copy 
may induce some administrators to buy many licences. Increasing the user base is 
the key word.
