We are having 05 nos. of 'AutoCAD 2017 Commercial New Multi-user ELD (ELCTRONIC
DOWNLOADABLE LICENSE) 3-Year Subscription with Basic Support'. I want to distribute license in such away that there should be a cap of 02 nos. of license for one group of executives and cap of 03 nos. of licenses for other group of executives. Pl. help me in configuring like that.

Hello

Welcome to the Autodesk / AutoCAD Forums !

Are you speaking about Standalone Lics ?
Or Network FlexLM Lics ?

@drprasanth

Welcome to the community...

Since you have a multi user (network) license you will need to create an option file based on the license file that gets generated. See my information in this posting. Also in that posting.. There's a link (provided by @TravisNave) regarding option files.

Yep, Mark is right. After setting up your NLM, the Options file should get you exactly what you need to do for license control. For eveything you could possibly want to know about the adskflex.opt Options file for FlexLM, please see my KB article here:

Hello @drprasanth,

As mentioned before, an options file is the way to go to limit usage. I have included more information you may want to review or other visitors may want to see all the options you have by creating a options file. Controlling License Usage
