Package License File Types and Examples
Autodesk offers a package license file option, which allows the use of a suite
of products that are packaged and sold together. The package license file
contains a set number of licenses for four different versions of your software.
Running an instance of any one of the versions uses one license in the package.
Packaged license files support prior versioning for subscription users. Package
license files operate under the following guidelines:
■ Package license files come with the current version of the software and
three previous versions of the same product.
■ License files can be combined with license files for different products. For
more information about combining license files, see
Example of a Package
License File for Combined Autodesk Product Versions
(page 75).
■ Package license files cannot be combined with non-package license files
for product versions contained in the package. For example, you cannot
combine an Autodesk 2014 package license file with a regular license file
for an Autodesk product 2014, 2013, 2012, or 2011.
■ Both the PACKAGE and INCREMENT sections of the license file are required
for licensing to work properly. When you combine license files, be sure to
include both of these sections.
■ License borrowing, option files, and licensing cascading work the same
for package licenses as they do for regular license files.
■ A new license file supersedes an older one.
