Civil 3D 2012 and Infrastructure Design Suite 2012 licensing issue

Civil 3D 2012 and Infrastructure Design Suite 2012 licensing issue

We have a networked copy of Civil 3D 2012 (on subscription) and were in the need for another license.  Since we had 5 networked licenses of regular AutoCAD we were told it would be better to upgrade one of those to Infrastructure Design Suite Premium 2012 as it contains Civil 3D 2012 as part of the suite.  So we did that.  

 

The issue that we're having is that computers that already had Civil 3D 2012 installed (pretty much all of our computers) still only use the one networked Civil 3D license even after installing Infrastructure Design Suite on those computer as well.  When we installed Infrastructure Design Suite 2012 on computers that didn't previously have any Autodesk products installed the Civil 3D on that computer used the Infrastructure Design Suite Civil 3D network license.  The license server appears to show that we have two licenses however it's not letting me open two Civil 3D's simultaneously.  Any ideas?  See below for our server status report.  

 

It appears to me that it's giving us two Civil 3D 2011, 2010, and 2009 licenses but only one 2012 license?  Or maybe I'm reading it wrong.

 

Thanks for any help.

odd.  I thought I did.  The LMTOOLS says version 11.9.0.0 build 87342 x64_n6 but the server status printout says v11.5.

okay...I'm at 11.9 now.  Still no change in the way the licenses are distributed.  I checked the license file with that page you posted and I suppose it checks out fine.  It didn't report any errors that I can see.  Our vendor is looking into the problem as well but I thought I would try the discussion board as well.  What I just heard from them is that apparently Autodesk knows of an issue with Civil 3D not cascading properly through the licenses.  Awaiting a workaround.  I'll post here when I learn more in case someone else ends up having this problem.

you may have to rearrange your license file by putting Civil 3d at the top then autocad then the suite
