Hello!
We have a client with a batch of 10 AutoCAD 2011 licenses, and 3 Mechanical 2011 licenses.
The problem is that the Mechanical licenses will not be consumed by AutoCAD installations, so if I have 10 people running AutoCAD, and another one tries to open it, it will fail to get a license, even though the Mechanical ones are free. This happens to all users, except from one, who even though only has plain AutoCAD installed, will always draw license from the Mechanical pool.
Any advise?
Thanks in advance,
Nikos
is there an error code?
this may give us some clue
also check the debug log and see if there are any denied licenses for anybody

Cascading also may not work if your combined license file contains licenses generated on different dates. Alternately, you could blow away the CascadeInfo.cas file on the client and try again. But as Darren said, a good place to start is the debug log.
You could. But what you probably need to do is just regenerate both on the same date. The problem is that the newer license will supersede the older one and will not combine properly to cascade if it is a different release year. It's complicated. But it is almost certainly your culprit.
