I have tried several times to download the trial version onto a brand new Mac Pro running OS X Snow Leopard. Akami downloads, then I downloaded the AutoCAD trial, then I installed the trial version. When I click on the AutoCAD icon in the dock the splash window appears saying "loading" for a few seconds, then it closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting the computer, all the usual tricks. And yes, language is set to English.
From what I can tell this is a problem for a lot of people but I have seen no explanation or suggestion other than an obscure suggesting about Journalling and reformatting the harddrive. Seems a bit excessive for a 30 day trial.
Hey Autodesk, if you want to sell to Mac users I suggest you give us some help!

I´ve already tried this and it won´t work either. I ´ve on this for hours. I´ve installed adn reinstalled the program a few times. I have tried the FlEX thing ( i found the folder THANKS!) but it doe´snt work. I don´t know if i´m doing ti wrong or what. May be if you could guide through it it might work. i´ve seen that some people have solved this problem.
thanks
Again--just quickly becasue I didn't see the answers in your responses: First off are you using Time Machine to restore the program on your hard drive? And have you installed the SP1 for Acad 2012 for the Mac?
Service Pack that fixes some issues with the product that was shipped. you can get it here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=18344661&linkID=15839491 I don't know if it will fix the issue, but it is best to have the most current version of the product when starting to trouble shoot--just in case what you are running into is fixed already.
Time Machine is a back up program for your system files, applications and setting and it comes with your Mac.
Hi Kathy,
I removed the _&/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher*_ file from the timemachine plist fil, but I am still getting the same error messages in the console.
The plist file now looks like this below;
Do you have any more help that you could share with me to get this trial working?
Thank you
