Inventor 2011 and Autocad 2010

[jdits7]

We have a network license with 12 seats, we have upgrade Inventor to 2011 but for document management reasons we are stuck on Autocad 2010 for a little while longer. If we run Inventor 2011 and Autocad 2011 on one computer that user only pulls 1 license but if we run Inventor 2011 and Autocad 2010 the user ends up pulling 2 licenses and eventually we run out of licenses. Was wondering if this is normal or if we have our license file set up wrong. Please help.

thats normal since you are pulling 2 separate versions being 2010 & 2011

They must have changed something because a few releases back it didn't do it that way. Back then you would essentially have 12 licenses of 2010 and 12 licenses of 2011, maybe it was just messed up back then and they fixed it now.

Hi,

Inventor 2011 and AutoCAD 2011 are part of the same package (AIS, AIP ...) so they pull just 1 license.

But different version of the same product (Here AutoCAD) will pull different licenses.

Back in time, yes you would have 12 licenses of product N and 12 licenses of product N-1. (But you have paid only 12 licenses and you could only use 12 licenses in regards of your contract)

Now you have 12 licenses for product N, N-1 and N-2 and you have paid 12 licenses.
