AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

I recently got a new computer that has Windows 7 64-bit on it. I immediately installed Civil 3d 2012 on it and it worked great. Some of our projects are in 2012 but some of them are still in 2011. So I exported the license from my old machine and tried to install Civil 3d 2011 on my new machine. I noticed that a couple SQL programs did not install because there was already a newer version on my machine. When it finished installing a tried to open it up and it acts like it is going to start ( I get the pretty Civil 3d Picture in the middle of my screen and the window pops up) but as soon at it starts it just disappears and goes right back to my desktop.

I though that maybe the problem was that I installed 2012 first so I completely uninstalled both of them and tried to reinstall just 2011 and I still have the same problem. I also tried disabling my Virus/Spyware protection software and reinstalling it. Same results.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

It sounds like program is not able to get license. How is your program installed? From network deployment or as stand-alone? How is your license?

That is exactly what the problem was. I thought that I could import the license after I opened the program. Apparently you have to import the license prior to opening the program. Thanks for all the help guys....sorry for my silly mistake.

I'm glad all is well now. Have a nice weekend!

Hi!,

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm running AutoCAD Civil 3D on Vista 64 bit. Could you please tell me, how to fix this problem? I read your post, but I didn't quite understand what you meant by importing license and how go about it?

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem with C3D 2012.  Your discussion does not actually contain the solution.  Would you please tell me the solution to the C3D 2011 problem if it will also fix it in C3D 2012?  Production is shutdown at the moment.  A solution is urgenly needed!

Thank you,

Crys

Having the same issue.  Completely unistalled Civil 3D 2012 and tried to transfer license over before opening.  I keep getting Error Referance 201
