Introduction
What's New in the 2014 Licensing Guide
The Licensing Guide is now part of a consolidated Installation Help online
document that includes the Installation Overview and FAQ, Network Administrator's
Guide, and product-specific supplements. This new structure is expected to be
easier to use and to maintain.
Other improvements are as follows:
■ Updated Network License Manager tools with FLEXnet 11.11.
■ New topics explain License Sharing and Cascading (page 67) for network
licenses and
Simplified Licensing (page 52) with term licenses.
■ Network license file examples have been updated.
■ New topics have been added to support term license users:
Manage a Term
License
(page 55) and Restoring Access to a Term License (page 61).
License Types
Autodesk provides two main types of licenses:
■ A stand-alone license supports one or more Autodesk products for an
individual user. This license type also has a multi-seat version that supports
a specific number of users. The software can be installed on additional
computers in your facility, but the number of concurrent users is limited.
