Borrowed License for everyone?

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Question, Questions, Dec 8, 2004.

  1. Is it possible to borrow a license onto a machine under a particular user
    log-on and then have that license available to anybody that uses the
    machine?

    We recently sent a machine out to a site which had a borrowed license put on
    it by one of the users in the office and when it got to site and a new user
    logged on, the license was not available - instead looking for a network
    connection. I would have thought that the license would be available to the
    machine and not the user in this instance but it doesn't appear to be the
    case.

    Any ideas anybody?

    No, I believe that Autodesk's configuration of FlexLM assigns a new
    license based on user+host.

    How about setting up a generic user account on that machine or on the
    domain for this case?
