Log off users single-user license

[O_Eckmann]

Hi,

Until today, I've a BuildingDesignSuitePremium in network (flexlm), and I must change to a user ID AEC collection (renewal isn't possible in flexlm).

Actually, I've 6 users of Map 3D (perpetual licence) which need Revit 1 hour per week (they use the BDSP) during usage of there Map, and 1 workstation with Recap pro (in fact I use only Decap to convert LAZ to RCP in batch mode several hours par day). On this workstation, to validate RCP and georef these pointcloud, we use AutoCAD (from the BDSP).

When I'd chang my BDSP to AEC, for the 6 Revit, they need to login to Autodesk to launch Revit, and logout when they quit Revit? is it possible to have automatique logout, if they forgot to do it manually?

For the workstation, I'm already logged in for my Recap. Is it possible to log into another account to launch AutoCAD?

If I affect AEC licence to my user of Recap, I need to log out to free my AEC licence, but I can't because I need to be logged in for my Recap.

Sorry for my english, I'm not sure to be clear.

How must I manage my licences to work exactly like I do with my Flexlm BDSP?

Thanks

Olivier

you don’t they will not work the same way

you can only be logged into 1 account per product

maybe with a batch script you can automate a log off but don’t know if this is possible

Hello @O_Eckmann, 

I created a informational post awhile back regarding Industry Collection & licensing usage guidance for the community. 

Please feel free to review it, most of the information still applies: 

Single User License

Industry Collections with a single user license, are one single assigned user, consuming one license for the entire Industry Collection. Products can not be shared with other users, but it can be installed on more than one computer.

The logon/logoff is more of a IT Admin issue then an Autodesk one, although I can provide you with my own suggestion which would be to Schedule a Task or implement a network timeout for all users. 

Please "Accept Solution" if a reply or replies have helped resolve the issue or answered your question, to help others in the community.

Hi,

So Autodesk stops Flexlm licence and no other licence exists to work same manner.

If I use AutoCAD 8hour per day and Revit 1h per week, I need to buy a collection, and if I have 6 users working this manner, I must buy 6 AEC collection instead of 6 MAP 3D and 1 token for Revit.

Sure it's a good solution for Autodesk, but very bad for my wallet 😭
