Describes the network license files for multiple products, including suites
Autodesk offers a package license file option for Subscription users. The package license file contains a set of licenses for four different versions of the same product, such as 2014 through 2011. Running an instance of any one of the versions uses one license in the package. Package license files operate under the following guidelines:
- Package license files authorize the use of the current version and three previous versions of the same product.
- License files can be combined with license files for different products.
- 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.
