The same version of AutoCAD is in both software packages but the product key differentiates one package from the other. For example, installing AutoCAD 2018 as a point product requires product key 001J1, but installing AutoCAD 2018 from the AutoCAD Design Suite Premium 2018 requires product key 768J1.
Product keys are required for installation of Autodesk products and are used to differentiate products that are both sold independently and as part of a product suite.
