Sirs,
We are having 2 license servers in our company, one serving international licenses and one serving local Norwegian licenses (only allowed to be used by users in Norway).
We have an install script that will direct users to the correct server during installation, so we are compliant with Autodesk licensing terms.
I would really want to do this more elegantly because our current solution is far from perfect. Users find it very strange and un-logical that they have to run an install script for Navisworks on multi-user PC's (meeting room PC's) even though they see that Navisworks is already on the PC. The background for this silliness is that we were told by the re-seller that it is not the country in which the PC is located in that matters, but the country the user is linked to, that is: does he normally work for the Norwegian part of the company or the Brazil part? If the license terms had been a bit different and allowed us to always link a PC to a license server based on where the PC is normally located we would not have had this issue, because normally a PC is purchased in one country and stays there forever, laptops will of course move around as users travel but the laptops still "belongs" to one country.
I have been thinking about if I could come up with smarter way to solve all this . Would it be possible to write an
EventWatcherPlugin that checks who the user is during an early event such as Application.GuiCreated? My guess is that most Application events fire after the license check, so it might not be the way to do it.
So my question is - is there a smarter way to direct users to correct license server on roamer.exe launch instead of the Autodesk default system where the license server have to be fixed to one server or more server per installation before you click the Navisworks icon or double click a nwd file?
Sincerely,
Ulrik
