Can I run 2 Autodesk programs at the same time?

Alex_Pendray — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 17:10:44 GMT

I am interested in using 2 Autodesk programs at the same time but I want to avoid breaching the terms and conditions. I understand that using 2 different versions of a software at once is a breach of the terms and conditions (for example, running revit 2021 and 2022 concurrently).

Can I run Revit and Autocad at the same time? What about Autocad and Autocad Architecture?

@Alex_Pendray, Firstly are you talking about Educational Licenses..?

Also, AutoCAD and AutoCAD architecture are not different.

Meaning AutoCAD Architecture Toolset is included with AutoCAD subscriptions and is not a different software.

What type of License do you have?

That's the most important question first ...

I have an AEC Collection license for a single user. Not an educational license.

Also, can I have 2 windows of the same software open at once? For example, 2 instances of Revit 2022 open on the same device.

Yes I do it with Inventor all the time.

They know you'll likely use more than one at a time on occasion.

Just can split it up to different users. The collection is assigned to you ..
