The following statement uses a feature code to reserve five seats of a perpetual license of AutoCAD 2016 (not on a maintenance plan) for a specific group: For perpetual licenses on a maintenance plan and subscription licenses with multi-user access, always use the package code. Use a product feature code (for example, 86445ACD_2016_0F) only if you are setting an options file parameter for a perpetual license that is not on a maintenance plan. The following statements reserve one license of AutoCAD 2016-2013 for a specific user, whether it is a perpetual license on a maintenance plan or a subscription license with multi-user access:Īfter you add parameters for subscription licenses with multi-user access, you don't need to modify the options file when the subscription is renewed or a version is released. In this case, you need to include other parameters to accommodate the subscription licenses with multi-user access. Sometimes you may use package codes in your options file and your license file may contain both perpetual or maintenance plan and subscription licenses with multi-user access for the same product. For example, the following statement uses the package code from a subscription with multi-user access license for AutoCAD 2016 (64300ACD_T_F) to reserve one license of AutoCAD 2016-2013 for a specific user:īy using the package code, you apply that options file parameter to all eligible versions of the product according to the previous version rights of the subscriber.

You can create option files for one or more servers and manage network licenses through those files.If you don’t need the capabilities of the options file, you don't have to create options files for all servers.
