AutoCAD 2009 LT
windows 7 Pro, 64 bit
Vantec 6 port Sata ii 150 PCI Host card w/ raid
Crucial 128gb SSD hard drive
I'm not running the system in RAID.
I'm having issues with a Sata card I installed on one machine. It's losing a hard drive from time to time and I have to unplug the Sata cables and plug them back in so the computer will boot up and function like normal. The only problem is that it casues an activation issue with AutoCAD. Now I've reached the reactivation limit for CAD.
Any ideas what to do? Can I manually enter something into the registry to correct the activation issue?
All drivers are up to date and I've reinstalled the driver for the controller card.
Thanks!
Lance

Is this hotfix not already included in the update 3? I double checked the updates and CAD is "up to date" when I tried to install the update 3 (again apparently). I see this hotfix listed under the update 3. I'll give it a shot later today anyway - I was able to get an activation code from AutoCAD for now. So until I turn off the machine, I'll be in good shape.
Thanks for the quick reply!
i doubt it because of this warning
If this update is applied to a computer that does not have a SATA Raid controller, the license on that computer will be broken. You will need to reactivate the product to repair the license.
