Users should ALWAYS go the the "Central" file, and Revit should ALWAYS make a new Local. However, this should all happen behind the scenes and the average DavePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15422882545893464197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-14343416438715101392013-06-10T10:38:44.450-05:002013-06-10T10:38:44.450-05:00Hmmm I might be mixing things up then but I could ...Hmmm I might be mixing things up then but I could have swore that I observed it happen at one point.

I think that's why Revit it pulling another license for the Autocad user.

Opening up two separate versions does pull two though. ;)<br /><br />I love it when a license gets pulled for AutoCAD from the BDSP, it locks the unused BDSP Revit license to that user even if they pulled a Revit-only license earlier. This effectively takes up two Revit seats with only one session of Revit open.Clayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351766026487842820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569516199116206255.post-55170501264239999372013-06-08T13:52:27.234-05:002013-06-08T13:52:27.234-05:00Aaron, at my last employer when I managed licensin...Aaron, at my last employer when I managed licensing, I always observed additional licenses pulled when a second session was opened. When another suite application was launched, it did not consume another license, but opening a second session of the same software did consume another license. I don't manage licenses now so I cannot verify, but based on my past experience, it could be affected.

I would check your license server if it is. Even opening Revit and ACA from the same BDSP license pool wont pull a seperate license, unless they open two different versions (2014 and 2013).<br /><br />2.
