Questions about AutoCAD Multi-user (network) Licensing and multiple subscription

[Anonymous]

Apologies if I am asking a question that has already been answered but I have been unable to find clarification. My organisation has been through multiple changes over the years and we have ended up with the following situation:

3 separate subscriptions consisting of a total of 7 seats:

Subscription 1 contains 3 seats of Autocad

Subscription 2 contains 1 seat of Autocad

Subscription 3 contains 3 seats of AutoCAD - including specialized toolsets

Each expires at different times through the year and are renewed. My organisation runs a Single Licence Server and the licence file has the details of all subscriptions.

I was led to believe that the server will pool all available licences for the same product so I should have a pool of 7 seats for AutoCAD 2019. I am in the process of creating a network deployment and part of the deployment asks me to enter a serial key as well as product code. Each subscription has it's own unique serial key so my query is that if I enter a serial key from one of my subscriptions and use this deployment on all my machines will they only use the seats available to this particular subscription. I contacted Autodesk telephone support and was assured that when creating my deployment it would only ask for the product code and licence server so would not be tied to a particular key and therefore use the whole pool.

Any help would be appreciated.

It doesn't matter which serial number is used for the deployment, once the software is installed it will check against the total number of licenses as opposed to verifying the serial number (which is the case for standalone licenses). Just use one of the three and it will be fine.

Keep in mind that with different subscriptions you will need to keep track on expiry dates and update your license file with each subscription's renewal.

It is indeed Mark. I posted this first and it was categorised as SPAM and removed. It was re-instated this morning. Thanks for your assistance.
