The PIT file doesn't have to actually be in an Autodesk layer, it just has to be in the last layer to get played into the image. Or version just the platform layer and put the PIT file there.

Then version (or recreate) each of the separate layers and include the full PIT file. So make a temporary layer with every component in it, and capture the PIT file from that. And, of course, it only works because you know what file to save. And it also only works because the packages do not otherwise conflict. This only works, though, because FlexLM is fine if you provide licensing information for products that are not actually installed.

No matter what combination of layers you include, and no matter what priority order they show up in, they all provide this license file, which allows all of the included packages to operate. Then, whenever they create a new App Layer for any AutoDesk package, they manually overwrite C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Adlm\pit-2010\ProductInformation.pit with the version of the file that has everything. Some customers have installed every single AutoDesk package together in order to get a ProductInformation.pit with all packages installed. That specific example suggests another possible solution to a layer conflict, if you happen to know what file is having a problem. In order to be able to have all three on the same published image, you need to include them in the same layer together, so that ProductInformation.pit will include the licensing information for all three products. In the published image, whichever package was created last is the only one that will be licensed. So if I create three separate layers for AutoCAD, RevIt and TrueView, each will have a copy of ProductInformation.pit that contains a listing for only that program. That single file is C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Adlm\pit-2010\ProductInformation.pit, and each of those programs appends its information to it. The problem is that FlexLM, their network license manager uses a single file to determine what components are installed and need to have a license checked out.

You absolutely can install different AutoDesk packages independently – AutoCAD, TrueView, RevIt – and they will function independently. The next option is to start with a template that contains one single AutoDesk app layer and start adding additional AutoDesk app layers to it after publishing/testing but that is super time consuming and I would prefer to avoid that (if I can). We have other layered images using the above mentioned AutoDesk app layers in prod but they are only utilizing one AutoDesk app layer. With our applications manager who is opening a ticket with AutoDesk on this but I wanted to post in here to see if anyone has had any issues with publishing image that contain multiple AutoDesk app layers. I even compared the licensing data files against our current prod image which isn't layered and has the exact same AutoDesk apps installed and they data files match up exactly. I confirmed that all the network licenses had a LICPATH.lic file that was configured with our licensing server. I reviewed the AutoDesk licensing data files and they look good. I have confirmed that the FlexNet Licensing service is set to automatic and started. "The License manager is not functioning or is improperly installed. When I create a template with all of the AutoDesk app layers combined and publish it I get the below error: When I take one of these app layers (say AutoCAD 2017), create a template and publish it out the installed AutoDesk application runs just fine. I have 8 AutoCad applications that are setup on their own separate app layers:
