How does your team use Fusion 360? We have a computer lab in our robotics lab and I’m trying to set it up so every computer in the lab has Fusion 360.
What kind of licensing do it do? Should I make it so everyone on the CAD team has to make themselves a login? Is there a way to use the team’s email for every station? (That’s ideal for us)
If everyone on the CAD team has their own login, do you just add them to the project, or is there a team feature that I should be using?
Thanks in advance
Autodesk offers a Education License which is available to students and teachers. The download requires that you have an Autodesk account. I would recommend that each CAD student have a account/login so that they have the option to download Fusion 360 onto their laptop if they have one and work away from the lab. However, Autodesk does allow multiple downloads for a single account so you could create an account with your team email and use that for every lab computer.
Edit: You can have multiple computers with the same login but you cannot use more than one at a time.
I have it downloaded, but I couldn’t verify that I’m part of an educational program since the team’s email is just a Gmail account.
Should each computer in the lab have their own login? Or each computer be on the same login?
I emailed support on this issue a few hours ago but I’m getting impatient
It has been a while since I’ve walked someone through the installation process, so you’ll have to refresh my memory a bit. When you are installing Fusion 360, does it prompt you to verify that you’re part of an educational program? How so? A screenshot would be great.
Also, if you only create and use one account (using the team email) you can have one login (for that account) for all the computers.
I’ve been through the download process a few times and it has never required me to verify that I am part of an educational institution in any real way, other than having a line in the account creation area where you put the name of your organization.
That’s what I remember as well. I recently moved Fusion to a new computer and I don’t think it needed any sort of verification.
It shouldn’t matter. The fusion cloud platform is very intuitive so collaborating between users is pretty streamlined regardless. I’d recommend having separate logins for each computer just to minimize the number of users on a single account.
You cannot use the same fusion account on multiple computers, only one instance of fusion per account at a time
Recent changes will require you to have one login per user. You can share logins if you want, but they now check to see if you are logged in somewhere else, and ask you which one to kickout.
This might depend on how your software is deployed in your lab. On my previous team, we used the high school’s computer lab, and software was deployed from a central server. This requires a different installation/license… which I believe is called Fusion Lab Install.
Yes, you need to invite each user to each project. You can use the team feature, and control the user levels (so students can edit, but not add other users), but you still need to add users to projects.
Not answering your question but there is FRC Fusion 360 Slack. If you’re interested in joining pm me and I can send you the invite link.
Thanks for all the help. I have never been asked in the past. In fact last year, I was able to get a ton of Inventor licenses for a computer lab with no verification that I was actually a mentor. Now that we are using Fusion, it might be a little more difficult
