Two different desktop licenses on one computer

jiri_seda — Wed, 26 Apr 2017 12:22:39 GMT

Hello,

would anyone know if is it possible to have installed two different desktop products (ACAD and REVIT LT) in one computer? Each product is run under different profile - each user has his own Windows profile. One user runs his ACAD 2017 and the second user (afternoon shift) runs his Revit LT. However, the second user is not able to run Revit LT because he doesnt have license available.

Of course, each user has his license assigned in his autodesk account...

Thank you

George

Its not really recommended to do this but yes its possible since they are separate term based application.

Thank you Mark.

Would you have an idea why it is not working for the second user? (Revit LT). His license is assigned but he is not able to check it.

I thought that it is not possible to do it that way because license details are stored as TSF.DATA in FlexNet folder which is not under each user but in ProgramFiles.

My bad, not enough sleep or something.. You are correct, the information in the program files do not permit this. I was thinking of a single account assigned to both applications and not what you said. Sorry about that. In this case they need to be on separate machines.

No need to worry, thank you for your confirmation.

I was just a little bit curious if it is be possible to change the folder location to enable this possibility...

No the information/installation location is set in "stone".
