Licensing Questions

[WebWader125]

I have some questions about the licensing of Inventor. I recently installed last year's copy (Inventor 8) on several of our school's PC's. Currently they are running in the 30-day trial mode. We don't have a server running, and our IT administrator isn't comfortable running a license server just for this application.

I'm wondering what our options are for getting the software correctly licensed. Is there any way to get several individual licenses instead of using a network license server? I tried installing that way, but the software says it's network licensed only. Could I maybe install the license server on my laptop, connect to the network long enough to borrow a license on each PC, and then disconnect? Who can help me out with this? I tried sending these questions to autodesk, but they said I should contact my reseller with those questions. :(

You may have to wait for this year's software to receive the full license.

For last year you could load as individual licenses. This Thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31521&highlight=autodesk+inventor+license)may help.

Interesting... in our situation, I'd actually prefer the individual licenses. But I got the impression that my only option was to serve the licenses from one network license server. I'll have to go back and see what problem I had run into.
