AutoCAD 2012 new feature: "Reset Settings to Default" is better than sliced bread
The reason this is better than sliced bread is that it provides us a quick way to resolve two type of issues. One pain point in recent years is the Migrate Settings. You are prompted the first time you open a brand new install to migrate your settings from an older release. When you do this the ...
Patrik,
I'm sorry, no I don't know why there is a difference. Open the .zip files and see what is added/different/new in the larger one.

I'm glad we could help! :)

2012 licensing pain relief!
There are some problems, but most pain points can be relieved. With the new 2012 licensing, here are some rules I live by and they resolve many of the calls I receive. Be familiar with the cascade sequence http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS16981643 Ensure you have the correct version of fl...
It may be consuming anywhere from 1 to 3 in your example above. It all depends on these factors.
1) Are you running an older version and is it obtaining its own feature code or a suite feature code?
2) Are there other licenses in the license file that have that feature code in it?
3) Are all the lower licenses already consumed.
If you have an AutoCAD 2013 and a Building Design Suite 2013 licenses in the license file. You are the first one in and no one else has any licenses. If you run AutoCAD 2013 it will consume the AuoCAD 2013 license, then run Revit it will consume the BDS 2013 license. Thus consuming two licenses, but after a short period of time (0-45 minutes) the AutoCAD will "piggyback" on the BDS license. Now, same situation as above but you run AutoCAD 2011, then it will consume the AutoCAD license, run Revit 2011 it will consume the BDS license. You will consume 2 licenses, it cannot piggyback.
They will ONLY piggyback if they consume the Suite feature code instead of their own individual feature codes.
To fully understand the network licensing and cascading you need to know the feature codes.
Final note: When you install the AutoCAD program from the Suite, it is still AutoCAD and first looks for the AutoCAD feature code FIRST in the entire license file. You did not install a Suite, you installed AutoCAD. That is a rule and there are exceptions to the rule, but use that rule when installing. One of the exceptions is 2013 Revit from BDS Premium or Ultimate, do not install it from there, install it from the Revit or Revit Suite media instead or it will not obtain the lower licenses. See my blog on Revit 1 box.

Is your Suite grabbing the wrong network license?
I've been receiving a lot of calls that go something like this: "My Product Design Standard is grabbing the AutoCAD license. But I installed from the STANDARD media and I don't want my Standard taking the my AutoCAD license". Yes, it will. Or, "My Product Design Standard is grabbing the Ultim...
Some of the Autodesk programs have that feature, some do not. I don't have Inventor installed so I couldn't say. If it does, then look in the same place for it.

Typically 3DCONFIG runs fine. The program ships with some default values within the valid range. Sometimes, and I have no idea how it can happen, you get an invalid setting that brings up an error like above. Maybe a crash, a lisp routine or Arx gone haywire. I've seen it with grid spacing, snap spacing, and a few others. We just need to enter a valid value. The trick is finding what setting to fix.
