share collection license with multiple users

[CarolinaBozic]

Good day all. 

I been wondering if you have a collection license in the network, can be share with multiple user as one could only use revit while other just civil 3d and another use architecture? is that legal ?

When someone uses a product out of the collection the entire Collection license is pulled.  Meaning if you have a single license of collection and someone launches Revit, they consume the entire Collection license and there would be no more Collection license left.

What @Mark.Lancaster said, and I'll add on that the same user/host combination will only consume one license. IOW, A single user can launch AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, etc. on the same PC, and only use one license.

I understand the point, but if the license is in the network and I only use civil 3d, can other user use only revit or Autocad from the collection license?

Many thanks for your reply!

Like I said..   If someone pulls Revit from the network license of Collection the entire license is pulled for that given user and no one else will be able to use any other product that  Collection license has.

Don't think of a Collection license as "1+1+1+...".  Think of it as 1 multi-purpose license which can run any of the supported programs.
