I have 10 AutoCad 2011 licenses, this is the amount I need for flexible use.
If I Cross Grade 4 AutoCad 2011 to Revit MEP 2011 Suite, my licenses are 6 AutoCad 2011 and 4 Revit Suite 2011.

The thing is, when I'm using 6 AutoCad Licenses, what will happen if the 7th connects? Can this be AutoCad 2011 of should this be AutoCAD MEP 2011 (suite)?

What I like to know;
Can I still use the 110 AutoCad 2011 licenses?

Witch action do I have to take?
Nothing, it works.
I have to buy 4 more AutoCad 2011 licenses so I get 110 licenses?
I have to install more AutoCad MEP 2011 (suite) on several systems so there is a change it will mix before I ran out of licenses?

Thanks anyway

acording to Autodesk: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=13152801&linkID=16889166 this is the cascading information for Revit 2010

Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 Cascading Sequence:
Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010
AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 2010
AutoCAD Revit Architecture Visualization Suite 2010
Autodesk Education Master Suite 2010
Autodesk Education Suite for Architecture and Engineering 2010
Autodesk Design Academy 2010

No AutoCAD to be seen! This indicates to me that the seventh operator who tries to open ACAD will not get a license.

I have had too much experience with this to know what will happen. Sorry.
