Blank Activation Screen

In early Dec 2010 I downloaded AutoCAD 2011 (I already had the 2010 version).  When I opened it, a screen appeared with the option to 'TRY' or 'ACTIVATE'.  When I clicked on Activate the next screen appeared but it was blank except for 2 radio buttons without any text attached.  Supposedly, I have to get a request code from that screen to activate but obviously I can't.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for this particular problem?

Hi mikebon123,

 

Could you please send me your request code via private message here on the forums (click on my screenname camilo.lemos and then on Send This User a Private Message)? I'll activate the product manually for you.

 

Regards,



Camilo Lemos

I have tried everything. I changed my IE settings, did the regsvr32 stuff (successullfy), and have now tried adding

<!-- saved from url=(0016)http://localhost -->, to every RTfile. To no avail, I have a student edition and it just won't work. please HELP.

I am on windows 7 64bt System. Using an intel corei3.

Hi.

For Autodesk 2013 products, use 4.  Editing files in the Webdepot Folder method in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdLM\R5\en-US\Webdepot folder instead of C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AdLM\R1\en-US\Webdepot folder. It absolutely works.

R1 and R3 works for Autodesk products of previous years.

Greetings from Turkey...

i had the same issue with the blank page. running win7 x64. i did all the steps but the only solution was to register dll files in SYSTEM32 directory.

You know what? This is bull. I have an Alienware, I7 processor, top of the line spacecraft for a PC. I am no fool when it comes to fixing programs either, since most of my days are spent hacking and cracking PC games. But when I come across crap like this, I just get pissed. I have the two radio button issue as well and I have tried everything under the sun, all solutions here and across the web, to get the STUDENT version of this software working. I thought maybe I should just buy it, but then I saw the $3, 675 dollar US price tag on it and flipped. If you have a price tag like that on your software, and you have a simple activation issue like this, then this software is a piece of crap to begin with. I had a similar issue with Adobe when it came to installing a version of Photoshop CS5 (that I had paid for) on my new PC. Their customer service told me they could not solve the issue and that I was just plain out of luck.... ... ... I just got done installing the torrent for Photoshop CS6 the other day and it works just fine. So since the company doesnt seem to have any answers, or a patch for this issue, I guess the only option I have left is to call Autodesk and see if they can help with this activation issue... Lets just hope they are more accomidating then Adobe was.... hehehe

 

Good luck to the rest of you, I have seen this software in action, and I know it is powerful stuff. I just hope that we can all get it working. God help any of you who paid for it and are having this issue...

I have tried all of the methods outlined on this page, and I am still not able to get anything other than the 2 'radio buttons':

Is there another way to activate the software?   I am running Windows 7 64bit.  This is very frustrating...

Hi brianhowes,

 

My apologies for any frustration this has caused you.

 

I can generate the Activation Code for you if on your end you can generate the Request Code. Once you have it please send me a Private Message (click on my joane.bonghanoy profile name and then “Send this user a private message”) with your Serial Number and Request Code.

I found the solution that worked for me...

 

In 3ds max go in "Customize > Preference > Viewports" then click on Choose Driver and choose "Software".

 

Exit 3ds max and open it again the problem should be fixed. .

Проблема решилась так: Удалил Internet Explorer из системы полностью, вновь установил его, включил все возможные плагины и регистация прошла успешно!

Hi, I'm having blank Activation Screen of 2013 3ds max on my computer.

Can anybody help? 

And i already paste <!-- saved from url=(0016)http://localhost --> below all the <html> but cannot save it.
It told me access is denied.
Anyone know what wrong with it?

Tried. All the method no use at all.

I had used the fourth method but I can't save it. A pop-up screen shown out "Access is denied"

The fourth method is the one that works, but in order to edit those files and save them you have to change the permissions of the folder first.
