Multiple account logins on 1 pc.

It would be awesome if we could log on to multiple Autodesk accounts to have access to different licenses at one time.

I have a personal Maya license, and then I have a 3DS max license for work. I can't use them at the same time due to the fact that you can only be logged into 1 account at a time thus trying to open Maya while 3ds max is rendering gives a license error.

Please just allow multiple accounts to log on so that it knows I have a license and is able to open both programs!

Never going to happen: why? it way more easily opens the door wide open to licensing abuse like non-commercial software to be used in a commercial environment. Kind of like what you just hinted you are doing here in Autodesk's back yard where their licensing folks like to snoop around.

Be careful out there: Autodesk Licensing Team can financially cripple both companies and individuals with full legal backing.

Im not quite sure i understand what you are saying pendean, i understand you are talking about some licensing abuse which i am not talking about...

I have 2 paid licenses on 2 different accounts both are allowed to be used for commercial use and both is bought directly from Autodesk, i simply dont see what the problem of allowing me to log into both of those accounts is.

I use Maya Indie License for games i do in my spare time, bought through my own company.
I use 3ds Max normal license for the company i work for on a daily basis.

When im not at work anymore and i make games then i only use the Maya license, its not that i want to use the 3ds Max license for my own games but rather because i daily am forced to log in and out of thise accounts in order to work in the other program.

Im a bit unsure what you suggest im doing wrong here when you say "Kind of like what you just hinted you are doing here"
