AutoCAD 2013 fails to start in OSX Mavericks

[technologywestgroup]

Hi,

I have looked around a bit, but haven't found this recently. Saw a post about AutoCAD for Mac 2014, but the plist file doesn't exist in the 2013 installation.

I have re-downloaded all files twice Trial, SP1, Beta SP2, and now the gerneral release of SP2 and the same issue in mavericks. I open the application from the applications folder, It show the splash screen with the word "loading" at the bottom, icon is bouncing, then it crashes. 100% of the time.

I am running a bradn new Mac Book Pro, with 10.9 installed.

Please help!! I appreciate it.

Hi,

I am on my phone, and don't have the exact solution, but the issue was
directly related to restoring my account from a time machine backup, as to
not have to reinstall all my apps.

Apparently AutoCad for Mac had issues with that and had to do some command
line adjustments.

If you need more info let me know.

The link in this solution brings me to another menu - not sure which discussion has the steps to "repair your activation". Could you please provide a more direct link? (the one I clicked on "http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=12311 2&id=16276182&linkID=15839490"
