Network Licensing and Revit xxx 2008

A little reminder. If you are upgrading to the latest release you must also upgrade the FlexLM software that manages your licensing. The required version is supplied on the DVD that you receive from Autodesk. The current version required is 11.4.0.0 and Revit will not work with earlier versions. If you don't upgrade it first, frustration will ensue! Good Luck!

Here's a link to the license manager if you can't find it

I have a situation where I have users starting Revit Arch 2008 and two projects in Revit Bldg 9.1. The 9.1 users perfer to stay in this version until the project ends in a couple of months. Any suggestions?

You'll have to get them to agree to something, whatever it is...

I'd say no reason to avoid upgrading if they aren't up against a tough deadline soon. If they are then they ought to hold off until the deadline has past and they can upgrade without any added pressure.

Make sure the team that doesn't want to upgrade is fully aware of some of the new features in 2008 that they might benefit from.
