AutoCAD 2012 License Failure

I have installed a single seat of AutoCAD 2012 for my group and we share this seat via a network license server.  I am getting a message that a valid license could not be obtained on a single client only.  The license activates on all other tested clients.  The client in question can ping the license server.  It even ask when installing to select a license server.  Why would the license not activate for this client.  By the way, this client in in India.  The other clients are state-side.  What gives?

My understanding is your client to find the license server remotely, maybe by VPN? right?

If so, the problem will be your network communication, I would suggestion you try this solution to increase the amount of time the program waits for a response from the license manager: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=7574782&linkID=9240617

Good luck!

For the pic1, blank activation windows, there is a solution you can try :http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=6404339&linkID=9240617, and also a lot of threads in this forum, just search and find something valid for you:http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/Authorization-window-is-blank/m-p/3004920#M3293....

 

For the pic2 and pic3, it's unable to connect our exchange server, you can try to type exchange.autodesk.com in IE to see if you can see the page, or click Connect on top right of pic2 to see if you can connect exchange.

Emily,

 

Thank you for the asistance.  I had our India team setup the environment variable and they were able to successfully acquire a license.
