Multiple different logins on the same computer

Hello, I am trying to log into 2 different Autodesk products using 2 different Autodesk logins on the same computer. I am on my work computer which has AutoCAD which is registered to my company. I want to be able to log into Fusion 360 and work on my own personal projects(off work hours of course) using a different login. Can AutoCAD and Fusion360 both be logged into separate accounts at the same time on the same computer?

This stupid. Even I know how to fix this on the license server back end.   Include multiple licensing and allow the user to select which license to choose per software.  EZ PZ.  get your engineers to do real work.  heck its as simple as supporting multiple license caches. make every license stored in their own separate caches for instant switching on a per app basis.

I have the same issue. In a day and age of application streaming, work from home, etc. This should be an easy to fix issue. Maybe add the option to select which login is used for specific software in the identity manager?

 

I genuinely hope this is something which some day is resolved.

This tread is marked as solved.... it is not!

Same issue here. I am pretty locked into Fusion just because its great to have years of files stored in one place so I'll be switching to Draftsight (from AutoCAD) after learning about it from this thread. I really only need AutoCAD to clean up PDF drawings and it hurts to pay the Autodesk price for this.

I love how the answer is just, "No, screw you, this is how it works. We won't fix it." God Autodesk is such trash. Between Eagle being garbage and how trash of a user experience Inventor and Fusion is, the company I'm with will 100% be switching either to Creo or Solidedge next year. Sick of this BS.

It annoys me horribly.

 

This is the most consumer unfriendly decision ever made. Just to score another purchase. I have recommend the company I work for to find another CAD software. 

 

Not being able to use software I bought on the same pc is rediculous. Both licenses are on my name! Just one is purchased through the company and the other is personal.

I don't get why its so difficult to have separate license checks for each product, why would you have it check across all programs? Pretty crazy how companies like Autodesk take advantage of Paid customers and basically say its a non issue, when so many of your customers struggle with the same issue. This is why I use alternative software's to avoid this issue, wouldn't you want me to invest in your product personally and not have it conflict with my works licenses. Please revisit this issue.

jumping in as another user hoping this can be changed to allow multiple logins. I inadvertenyl had been using my Company's tokens to run the full version of Fusion 360, thinking I had the "Fusion 360 for Personal Use: installed (because that's what I downloaded). I didn't realize it would just auto-login and start using my company's tokens.

I think this question don't have importance for Autodesk.

Nowadays I don't used to do the different login in the same computer.

@JWiensZMWU2 Also check out Shapr3D.  If you’re on an iPad, it’s pretty fantastic.  I use SketchUp and Shapr3D, along with ZBrush for sculpting.  I was just coming to Autodesk to sign up for Fusion360, which isn’t there anymore?  I’m not paying $85 a month for Fusion.  Most other options are around $300-400 a year.
