AutoCad now takes 30 minutes or more to open

We recently had some server license issues, now everyone is up and running except that one machine takes 30 minutes or longer to open AutoCad one works fine and one takes long one day then opens right up the next???  Any thoughts?

It's probably not licensing as the application gives up and errors out quickly when a license isn't available. In my experience, slow AutoCAD often has to do with network latency, invalid mapped drives, offline printers, and broken links to drawings or digital signatures. The easiest way to check is to borrow a license, yank the ethernet cable and see how AutoCAD behaves. If it's fast, you got something going on.

We don't use laptops here so we have never borrowed a license like that.  Any tip on how to do that?

Borrow license is an option under the Tools menu. Or you can go to Help > About and click Product Information and the Borrow License. Choose the length and give it a test.
