how to use autodesk inventor professional 2016

In the following example, I have launched Inventor Professional 2016 and it grabbed a Product Design Suite Premium 2016 license. However if none of those license were available, it would repeat the process and try to grab a license from Inventor Professional, Product Design Suite Ultimate (PDSU) or Factory Design Suite Ultimate (FDSU). When you launched a network version of Inventor Professional it would first try to grab a (network) license associated to either Inventor (standard), Product Design Suite Premium (PDSP), Factory Design Suite Premium (FDSP) or perhaps Building Design Suite Ultimate (BDSU). Posted on Jby Synergis Product Support Specialist, Mark Lancaster After 2 minutes, your Inventor license will be returned and you will only be consuming the single Factory Design Suite license at that point. One for Inventor and the other for factory (FDS).

After you obtain a license and you start using Factory tools, for about 2 minutes, you will be consuming 2 license.

When it’s launched again it will consume a lower license like it did in the past.

Upon first launch if you have suite licenses, Inventor Professional will consume an Ultimate license of Product Design or Factory Design Suite.A couple of things to keep in mind for the 2017 version after the update has been applied. Updated (July 25, 2016): The cascading network license issue as described below in this article for Inventor 2017 has been resolved in the R2/SP1 edition or service pack 1.
