Can AIP and AIS co-exist on the same machine? We have floaters and would like to be able to share the Pro when necessary.
During install of the Pro software the deployment stops and exits. If I check in non-silent mode I see that the installer states that a later version is already installed.
No. You should only install AIP. It can pull an AIS license and will only pull the AIP licenses when using a pro module or when necessary.
its better to uninstall everything

Here is the dilema. Let's say that I have twenty users; five users have a possible need to borrow 3 AIP licenses...all users require AutoCAD.
Will the license server borrow the AutoCAD features from any available seat (17 AIS, 3 AIP)? I need to have all twenty AutoCAD seats available at all times.
depends
do you have separate licenses of just autocad in your license file?

AutoCAD (assuming from the Mechanical install of the Inventor Suite) will cascade to the available license when necessary. When a single user launches AIP and AutoCAD, the user will still only use one license total as the programs are part of the same suite, thus share the license.
I would suspect the only issue you will have is not running out of AutoCAD licenses, it will be running out of AIP licenses. When your three AIP seats are used by 3 users, your 4th and 5th AIP users will have to wait for a seat to free up. They'd still be able to launch AIS or AutoCAD, however.

I was thinking that what you have discribed woud be the case. The AIP would only be required part of the time by the 5 users, three would have to be full time and swap out if on other required AIP usage

The licenses are budled with each suite. I use to have all twenty AIS seats but, we recently upgraded 3 to AIP.
then what travis said is correct then
you may run out of AIP licenses at some point
