Except with regard to Educational Institutional, Student and Evaluation Versions only, You may Install and Access a second copy of the Software on the hard disk of a second Computer owned by You or under Your control provided that: If you do nothing but work with that program all day, then you better have stand alone licenses for everyone or enough seats on the server, so they are available when needed.įrom the AutoCAD 2007 US/Canada EULA on the CD -ģ.1.2 Additional Installation. If a department doesn't use the program much it makes $$ sense to have a license, on the server, available to all. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. Once again one seat, one user, mulitiple computers. I now work for an AutoCAD only firm and we have stand alone licenses. When they were being used, that was it, they were gone.

These licenses were not transferable to a particular computer. We had three AutoCAD licenses on the server available to whomever needed them for. Each person had a stand alone license which they used themselves, one seat, one user, multiple computers. I worked for a firm which primarily used Bentley. This will dictate what type of seat to purchase. One should fully understand at time of purchase how and where the product is going to be used. A server based, multi seat, shared license is different than a stand alone license, hence the names. Remember, your reseller would lose money too. One seat, one user, one or one hundred computers! As long as you are not sharing that seat to avoid separate purchases. My reseller was the one which told me that it is perfectly allowable to have the same seat on two systems if they are used by one individual. I find that interesting that your reseller would advise against this.
