Network License Manager Upgrade for Revit Architecture 2017

[Anonymous]

After upgrading a client's LM Tools utility to 11.13, none of their existing Revit Architectures products would work. 

I noticed while troubleshooting that the feature code for Revit Architecture 2017 does not exist (2017 Feature Codes) or is not published. This means that in the new license file, there will only be RVT_F feature codes and no REVIT_F feature codes. 

So far the only solution I have was to ask Autodesk to generate a new .lic file with a Revit Architecture 2017 feature code added. This makes sure that there is a REVIT_F feature code for the Revit Architecture (2014 - 2016) files {note that this solution effectively doubles the 2014-2016 seats of revit in the .lic file. - unless i'm missing something} 

Has anyone else seen this issue? I imagine this similar issue would happen if someone had Revit Structure/MEP and upgraded their LM Tools to 11.13.

from what i know there shouldn't have been a Revit Architecture 2017 these should been migrated to Revit 2017 if this is on a current sub contract

the fix would be to install revit 2017 instead of Revit Architecture

@DarrenP, with all due respect... that's not really a solution. It does not address the user's previous installations of Revit Architecture. 

There are no other versions of Revit 2017 (that I'm aware of), so changing the version of the software is a non-issue.

It appears that the 2014-2016 versions of Revit Arch are looking for a feature code in the .lic file that doesn't exist.

This still feels like an oversight.
