What version is it?

Please be aware that unless you purchased three seats, you are describing an illegal act. Each license is for one machine.
The idea is that you install the same copy at home and at work. Since you can't be both places at once, you are using the same copy. You are left with one extra install w/ the serial number in case a reinstall after system failure is needed. After that, you must call Autodesk everytime you need to reinstall.
If you used all three installs from the CD on different machines that are all used by different persons, or even just two machines used by different persons in the same place and time, you are in violation of the EULA. Of all the companies I do not loose sleep over, AutoDesk does not make the list. Saying they are aggressive over the smallest infractions in an understatment.
Please consider speaking to your bossess about purchasing two more seats if you need them. It's a lot cheaper than the fines a judge will impose.
