Autodesk Inventor

[#1]

Hello all.

I suddenly get this problem on inventor startup. See attachment. I diden't do nothing special, only restarted Inventor. At first sight it looks like we do not have any free licences, but this is not the problem because I managed to start Inventor on another PC using the same windows user.

I encountered this problem again 2 month ago. Then our IT department had to uninstalll Inventor, completly clean the registry and then reinstall again.

Anybody any idea on this?

Thanks.

Your license manager is timing out, perhaps due to poor connectivity or network lag.  To solve this, you need to set an environment variable to make the license manager wait longer for a response before stopping.

Press your start button, and in the search box type "set environment variable" and hit enter.  Add a System Variable called FLEXLM_TIMEOUT with a value of 100000000 as shown in this screenshot:

Consider also using the TIMEOUTALL option in an adskflex.opt Options file on the LMTOOLS server.  See my signature line for more information than you can possibly use.

Hello.

Thanks for the replyes. Your answers make sense. Meen while I updated my graphic cards driver. It diden't instantly work. After an hour it started to work again. So it probably is network lag.

If I encounter this problem again I will try your solutions, to see the effects.

I will reply again, if your answers are solutions.

Thank you.
