2014 Checking license... hang

We have Autocad Plant 2014 Suite installed on a few machines using network licensing.  For some reason when I open AutoCAD, it hangs at the splash screen for 30-60 seconds at the "Checking license..." location.  It does this pretty much everytime.  When I start up AutoCAD Plant, it starts fine and does not hang at the spash screen.

 

Any help with this would be appreciated.

For network license:
 
1.   seach all the registry keys: ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE and confirm they have the same value.  i.e. @servername.
2.   set up environment variable:  
 
3.  Confirm the following is set correctly:
 
 
For standalone license:
 

1.  Try to delete the adskflex_####_tsf.data file.

Hi,

You just go to Task manager and then end task all process of Autodesk.

End then start Autocad again, you will go to activation screen.

Best regards.

Both @emily.xu & @support103 answers are good suggestions, but what happens is the LMU.exe process is hung from the previously opened and closed session. That causes AutoCAD to freeze at "Checking License..."

 

If the issue happens again, open Task Manager, locate LMU.exe and End task. NOTE: The application will crash because it didn't complete validation, so just launch AutoCAD again and it should launch without an issue.

 

BTW... You should upgrade to 2020, why 2014?
