Hi Franck,
Your use case will look like this:
Each user that launches AutoCAD 2007, will first ping the license server to
see if there is an AutoCAD 2007 license available, and if so, it will use
it. So in your use case, the first 10 users who launch AutoCAD 2007 will
consume the 10 AutoCAD 2007 licenses.
For your eleventh user, however, when they launch AutoCAD 2007, they will
ping the license server to see if there is an AutoCAD 2007 license
available, and there will be none in this case. So at this point, with the
change in AutoCAD 2007, we have new logic in place that instructs the
AutoCAD 2007 application to ping the license server again, but this time to
see if there are any ARS Building 9 licenses available. In your use case,
there will be one license available, and that eleventh user will consume it.
So at this point, you have 11 users running AutoCAD 2007 - 10 of them
consuming vanilla AutoCAD 2007 licenses and the eleventh consuming the one
ARS Building 9 license.
When any of your users try to launch the Revit Building 9 product at that
time, the Revit app will go through similar logic. The Revit Building 9
application will first ping the license server to see if any vanilla Revit
Building 9 licenses are available. In your case, there are none. So it
will then ping the license server to see if there are any ARS Building 9
licenses available. For all of your users, there will be no licenses
available, so they will not be able to run the Revit app - with the
exception of your eleventh user running AutoCAD 2007. That user already has
the ARS Building 9 license checked out, so he will be able to run the Revit
Building 9 app and the AutoCAD 2007 app at the same time.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Greg

Hi greg,
I have 10 AutoCAD 2007 and 1 ARS9.
I deploy 20 AutoCAD 2007.
At one moment, i have 11 users that launch AutoCAD 2007. (11 ACD2007 + 1
ARS9).
It works.
But if i launch Revit , did i get a license for it?

Hi Franck,
The RESERVE keyword behaviour is not changed. You can still reserve
features for a particular user or group of users, and those features will be
reserved for those users the same way as in AutoCAD 2006.

Hi greg,
First thanks for the information.
How will this option works with the RESERVE?
I have customers that use the option RESERVE.
example :
RESERVE feature_acad group
RESERVE feature_revitseries group
Sorry for this question but i didn't have read the documentation at this
moment of 2007.

Hi,
Yes, the addtional INCREMENT PLIST information at the end of your 2007
license file is used to manage the cascading license behavior. That PLIST
item is effectively a new feature line in the license file, so it is
expected that it will appear in the server status as you have noticed.

Excellent news to hear. Is that what all the new junk at the end of my 2007
license is for?
My server status now shows:
Users of PLIST: (Total of 1 license issued; Total of 0 licenses in use)
... in addition to my ACAD 2007 license. What is that all about?
