Dynamic licensing
Dynamic licensing is a feature of Autodesk Inventor products. Its purpose is to consume a higher value Inventor license only when a command for the higher value Inventor license is invoked. Dynamic Licensing gives all users access to any level of functionality on an as needed basis.
The license managers understand there is a product hierarchy. When a user accesses one of the products, the lowest available appropriate license is consumed. Each time a user exits an Inventor products, the license for that product is released. Inventor dynamically moves up to a higher license when a user clicks a command or enters an environment that requires a higher level license than is currently active.
Dynamic licensing example
Consider the following example: You have 2 Inventor Professional licenses and 2 Inventor licenses on your network, all the same version. When the first user starts Inventor Professional, the license manager will use the Inventor license. If a second user starts Inventor Professional, the other Inventor license will be used. If one of the users invokes an Inventor Professional command, then an Inventor Professional license will be consumed and an Inventor license will become available.
Dynamic licensing best practices
If you know in advance that a specific user needs access to one specific application (for example, Autodesk Inventor) then you install only that application on the user's computer. The installation participates in the complete license pool.
If different people need access to different Inventor products at different times, install the highest value product on all workstations. Although this installation is recommended, it is not required.
Licenses are returned to the license pool when the user closes the application. Instruct users to close Inventor when they are finished using it so that someone else can take advantage of the license or configure the server to reclaim the idle client licenses.
