Hello
We have a network license with a number of AutoCAD seats and Civil 3D seats. 2017version
Running single server LMTools
The users use a mix of AutoCAD and Civil3D files
We have a problem running out of licenses even if though we should have enough.
What is the best installation order on PCs?
When starting Civil as AutoCAD it takes 1 civil license. This blocks the use of civil license for Civil. I thought the software would occupy the lowest form of license it needs.
If I install AutoCAD and Civil 3D (with autocad icon) I end up with 2 different AutoCADs

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..
I'm not a Civil3D user or expert... But there could be an installation order like with AutoCAD Electrical.. For example when I install AutoCAD Electrical I get vanilla AutoCAD because its needed. However if I launch plain AutoCAD, its still launch AutoCAD Electrical in the background and consumes an AutoCAD Electrical license.
But a few questions..
1. What type of license are theses? As a reminder term base license will always get pulled before perpetual license.
2. Did you create the entire license within a 24hr period?
3. Can you attach the debug lug file as specified in the Config Service tab of your license manager. Although it contains names, there's no information in there that would impact your infrastructure if you shared.

thats because you are still launching Civl 3D without the Civil 3D interface
you will need to install Autocad & Civil 3D on these computers
