• Requires a minimum of three separate servers
• Difficult to implement and maintain
• Requires more planning and expertise than other configurations
Combining Licenses: In environments with licensed seats of both Land Desktop 2007
and Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion, network licensing has been simplified compared
to previous releases. Both Land Desktop 2007 and Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion
now use the same feature code. Civil 3D 2007 has its own feature code, separate from
Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion.
Land Desktop and Civil 3D licenses cascade in the following manner:
• If a user has Land Desktop 2007 and Civil 3D 2007 on a single workstation and
launches Land Desktop 2007 when there are no Land Desktop licenses
available, Land Desktop consumes a Civil 3D license.
• The server keeps looking for an available Land Desktop license. If it finds one, it
returns the Civil 3D license and takes the Land Desktop license.
• If a user tries to launch Civil 3D and a Civil 3D license is not available, Civil 3D
will not take a Land Desktop license.
