Autodesk® Network License Manager
10
Autodesk Product Support strongly recommends the distributed server configuration for most
applications and I agree on that.
Redundant license servers also known as failover servers or triads.
LICPATH.LIC is used to define the three servers and their ports.
Global Network Use License (GNUL)
Global Network Use License aka GNUL is a licensing option from Autodesk that allow usage
across different countries or regions that are not allowed by the standard EULA (End-user
license agreement). GNUL licenses are more expensive than standard network licenses.
MultiFlex
Autodesk’s MultiFlex is based on GNUL and similar to Autodesk’s suit licenses, except that it
covers almost all Autodesk products. MultiFlex licenses are more expensive than standard
network licenses.
Internet licensing
Internet licenses is something that has been piloted by some companies and requires approval
of Autodesk. Because the licenses are available on the open Internet, license borrowing on the
Internet license server needs to be restricted. Further protection is done with the System
Environment Variable LM_PROJECT. A unique LM_PROJECT value (acting like a password)
needs to be used on the Internet license server and on the clients. This makes it possible for
only clients with the correct LM_PROJECT value checking out a license.
System Requirements
The Network License Manager supports Windows, Linux and MacOS X in Ethernet network
configurations only.
The Network License Manager can be installed on a low spec server or PC (Intel® Pentium® III
or higher with 450 MHz as minimum) as it does not require much and it can be on another
existing server like a deployment or file server.
Virtual Machine Support is available. The Autodesk implementation of FlexNet is only supported
on VMware ESX 3.5 SP1 and only on specific guest operating systems. Refer to Autodesk
TS85748
In most every case the latest version of FlexNet can be used and is backward compatible.
VPN, Wireless, DSL/Cable is supported.
Internet licensing is not supported but requires permission from Autodesk to be used.
Dialup is not supported but might work even though several tries might be needed to start a
product and find the license server.
