Hello
I would like to migrate the INVENTOR/AUTOCAD 2010 solutions to another server.
The solutions are:
Obviously I don't have support for these products anymore.
Does anyone have the skills to guide me in this migration?
Thank you in advance.
Hello
Be careful!
Because Autodesk is more and more psychorigid with its licenses and the controls it exercises via the net.
One day (6 years ago) they arbitrarily decided without warning that I could no longer use such and such an old version number even though I had a current subscription for the year's version. As a result, I could no longer read or modify my customers' old parts and send them back in their own version number.
So I switched to Solidworks. :-)
Courage :-)
We also went to SW. So I don't want to pay maintenance at Autodesk to just transfer my CAD data (Inventor/Autocad) from the Vault to a new server.
Hello @flegendre,
Normally on the license server you should have a lip file, where the licenses are saved. A simple box glued to it normally allows you to restart the software by installing it on a workstation and indicating the place where to find the license.
on the other hand for the access to the vault .... Delicate question.
Hello, I correct my personal account by the . LIC and not lip
For the conversion there is Datakit that can either be taken as a Cross Manager type module or as a complement to Solidworks, with license management on the server. This can help with file conversion and sends it to the vault
I will call on a specialist service provider AUTOCAD/INVENTOR, much safer and wiser.
On the other hand, a priori, I am not in the rules, since I have Inventor/Autocad 2010 licenses installed on my CAD workstations while for the editor I must be in 2012 version. In the Autodesk world, we don't have the right to be in a version inferior to that of our contract?
Hello@flegendre
Have you found a solution?
From what I understand, we have the right to 3 lower versions compared to the network license server.
For a 2016 autocad you can use 2015 and 2014, if you switch to 2017, you lose 2014.... knowing that with the new rental policy it becomes more complex
Yes Gérald, I have found a solution. I called on an external service provider (excellent, one person to recommend) AUTODESK specialist.in one day he migrated (without any problem): my vault, my license manager, V2012 installation (VAult, Inventor, Autocad) and the various patches. Indeed it's quite complex, the AUTODESK specialist explained to me that we were even "outside the law", that is to say that we had to install a V2010 when we should have been in V2012 and only V2012 because we no longer had a maintenance contract. Indeed, when you no longer have maintenance, you are only eligible for one version!!! not easy.....
