Network License Question

Currently we have stand-alone licenses here in our office. We are
discussing going to network licenses in order to save some money rather than
buying a stand-alone license for a machine that might use LDD 1-2 times a
week. On each machine that has LDD installed on it, a user can launch a
"Land Enabled AutoDesk Map" (LEM) application/license (in order to access
multiple drawings at one time as needed) and can launch a standard "Land
Desktop" (LDD) application/license to access a drawing where LDD commands
are needed. Therefore, these two items are utilized with one stand-alone
license.

When we move to a network license, we will still be able to "grab" a LEM and
a LDD license with each network license of LDD? I am suspecting that we
will only be able to grab one.

Any input is appreciated.

I think it will.
I only have Acad 2005 pure (1 network license) but I am able to start multiple autoCAD sessions on the same computer.
With another vendor, we have 5 lic of the basic software and 1 of the Pro on a FlexLM server. We associated the extention with the basic software, so if anyone doulbeclicks on a flie, the base software is launced. When someone needs the Pro version, the has to go via the Start-> Programs..

So if you can buy a LEM separate, perhaps you need less LDD licenses...

 

So my understanding is that with your 1 network license, you have been able
to start multiple ACAD sessions on the same computer. Hopefully that is the
case for others as well. Yes, I am looking into trying to purchase just a
LEM license if possible to save some money there as well.

Thanks for the input.
