What license is required to run Inventor Optimization
Problem
Inventor Optimization only works on PrDS Premium and PrDS Ultimate and will neither run on PrDs Basic nor on any flavor of FDS. But even when using PrDS Premium , Inventor Optimization will not work when you are not running with a matching PrDS Premium license. If only Ultimate licenses in the license pool are available, the Optimization service will not start on a PrDS Premium install. You will have to wait until a Premium license becomes available before running Inventor Optimization.
Solution
It is impossible to use an Ultimate license during a Premium PrDS Optimization session. You need to use a matching license which means that you need a Premium license when using Inventor Optimization on a Premium version of PrDS.
