can't find license

[jdcho]

I upgraded to revit 2013 for most of our machines and bought 2 new building systems version in january ... and now have an issue.  It seems as if one of the 2013 revit architecture keeps taking a building systems license.  Is this a first come first serve basis for the license manager?  When building systems logs on first there's no issue, but when revit architeture logs in, it automatcially takes a building systems license.  Can I force it to take a regular license?

were the license files generated on the same day?

[jdcho]

not sure what you mean .... are you talking about the .lic file from autodesk?  It's a single network file.

[DarrenP]

is building suite the only product in the license file

run the license file through here: www.licenseparser.com

[jdcho]

so I have 3 revit architecture suites, 3 autocad architecture, and 2 building desing suites

[DarrenP]

were they all generated the same day?

it should say on the license parser website

[jdcho]

yup ... all issued on the same date

[DarrenP]

are you sure your running revit archtecture and not revit from the building suite

[jdcho]

yes, both different installs .... one machine I installed building design suites and the other revit architecture suite.  One with the usb install, the other with disks.

[DarrenP]

can you post the debug log for the flex lm?

[jdcho]

so I had eveybody restart there machines and now there's no issue ... go figure .... I even had the same people try and simulate what they did and no issue.

must have been a solar flare ...... thanks for all your help and sorry for taking your time.

if this happens again, I'll post the debug file.
