Autodesk Licensing and installing products on more PC's than we have licenses

[catkins]

We have numerous licences of the new Revit/ABS software crossgraded from ACAD 2004. We also have 2 seats of ACAD 2007. We are trying to get on the industry bus with ABS. We are an MEP firm. While we are in the process of migrating, can we load 07 on more than two machines since we own the licenses that are above 07? ie: the 07 versions after two, would be riding on the Revit System licenses until we can complete the migration. Is this OK...I know it is possible, but is it in compliance with Autodesk licensing policy? I can't seem to find the answer. I know we can use the 2004 unitl we are comfortable with ABS. I know it will be uncomfortable taking the bus to Autodesk Building Systems. Does anyone have any feedback?

Are you on subscription?
Are these network or standalone licenses?

As far as using 2004 and 2007 at the same time - if you are not on subscription, check your EULA.

Thanks for your help. Now that we have the product, we have the answers. It would be nice if Autodesk reps would actually open up the product and install it or even play around with it for 15 minutes. The two different reps we talked to, one that we purchased from and one we talked to, could not tell us for sure how ACAD 2007 was integrated into Revit Systems Plus. Anyway, we don't have to worry about licensing issues because ACAD 2007 is inside ABS which is apart of Revit Systems Plus. We can now make the migration with ease. I don't know alot, but it seems I know enough to become an Autodesk Distributor. Maybe I shoule apply.....

Thanks for your help rkmcswain.....
