Use these links to run the installed product and consume the license you select.
For example, when you click the Autodesk Inventor Professional link, an Autodesk
Inventor Professional license is checked out, regardless of whether any of the
additional functionality provided by the applications is utilized. When you click the
Autodesk Inventor link, an Autodesk Inventor Series license is checked out. In this
case, only the Autodesk Inventor functionality is available. You decide which version
to run by selecting the appropriate link from this menu.
You can install Autodesk Inventor Professional on all machines to simplify the
installation process. You can also install Autodesk Inventor from the Autodesk
Inventor Series CDs for users who do not need Autodesk Inventor Professional
functionality.
Note: The network license that was last invoked becomes associated with the last
used Autodesk Inventor file extension. To access a different network license, start
the network license you want to invoke from one of the links as noted previously.

Cascading Licenses
Autodesk Inventor 11 contains an enhancement to the licensing system and resolves
license allocation problems that occur when you use a mix of separate products, such
as Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD® products.
The license manager recognizes a product hierarchy (AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor
Series, and Autodesk Inventor Professional). When you access one of the products,
the lowest appropriate license available is consumed.

NOTE: The Network license server is blocked by firewalls. The port in the license file
(280), lmgrd.exe booth must be allowed to go through the firewall to proceed with
installation.
If an Autodesk product is installed on a system, and then later you attempt to install
and setup a network license server on that same system, the default service is
"borrow," not flexlm. However, since Borrow is not a valid service name, you must
add another service, exit and restart lmgrd, and proceed according to the
instructions.
