Concession to run MU for contract remainder

[Neil_Cross]

Just checking what the response is to this here.

If a customer trades in their MU licenses in September 2020, they may already be up and running on the 2021 software with FlexLM installed and networked clients deployed.  If their contract switches to named access, their install base is not compliant to their account.

But it's not reasonable to expect every customer to re-deploy their entire software allocation to switch the license type due to a forced contract change.

Can you guys commit to allowing all customers to continue to run their existing MU install base until the release of the next product version?

@tobias_wiesendanger ,

You cannot install Vault Office side-by-side with Vault Workgroup or Professional. 

A large majority of users will not have two different Vault clients side by side.

This was just a sample. You can reset and change any vault product with the command line. I never said I installed any vault product side by side. The search on the left just lists all vault product that exist.

Any chance you might share such program? If nothing else, I could see you being able to sell the program.

For product version 2017 to 2020 you can change or reset the license type through Help/About or under the A360 field/manage license.   However if you can't get in...

For 2017-2019 you perform a license reset per this article.

For 2020:  You can either user @TravisNave batch program here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/how-to-reset-autodesk-2020-licensing/td-p/8699... or https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-change-or-reset-l...

Yes, I know there are ways to change it, your program just looked like it would make it a lot easier.

I did send you a private message.
