Installation & Licensing

[#1]

We have several AutoCAD Mechanical and Inventor licenses declared in the same license file.

We don't understand why but sometimes AutoCAD Mechanical takes an Inventor token (85569INVPRORS_2011_0F) even if some AutoCAD Mechanical 2011 (85545AMECH_PP_2011_0F) are free.

The installation fo Autocad Mechanical comes from Autocad Mechanical, we didn't use those from Inventor.

Did anybody get already this problem ?

Thanks for your help

is mechanical being started up first or is inventor being started first on the same machine?

or the people using mechanical only have mechanical installed?

[#3]

The users have only Autocad Mechanical on their computers.

[#4]

Do those users that only have Mechanical installed even have a need for Routed Systems?  You could exclude them from accessing it via an adskflex.opt options file. 

Have you tried deleting the CascadeInfo.cas file yet and seeing if relaunching Mechanical will pull a Mechanical license?  Also, which license is listed first in the LIC file?

[#5]

No they have no need, the users are totally different.

Is it possible to do easily (we have more that 250 users located in 60 sites) ?

No I didn't try to delete CascadeInfo.cas file, I will do it.

in the lic file :

Autocad Cilvil 3D

Inventor

Autocad Map

Autocad Electrical

then

Autocad Mechanical

Thanks for your help

Try deleting the CascadeInfo.cas file first.

Then if that doesn't work, move the Mechanical license to the top of the LIC file and reread the license. 

If that still doesn't work, I will help you make an adskflex.opt file.
