I am a student and I just downloaded Autodesk Inventor. My Inventor software was working perfectly for about two weeks. Then one day it stopped responding and closed. After that Inventor no longer opens. When I click the tab on my desktop to open it, a message comes up saying
"Inventor.exe is not currently registered and did not correctly re-register on start up. This is probably because you do not have enough access rights (e.g. you are a Restricted User). Ask an Administrator or Standard User to re-run the program for you."
I activated the software through the email that was sent to me but when I view my software, it says I have not activated it yet. So I started the activation process and on the second page, after I enter the serieal number, it asks for the Product Request Code which I do not have. When I click the question mark it says to start the product to get the number. However according to my first error code, I cannot start the product because it has not been activated. So I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

You probably need to do a repair install.
How do I go about doing that? Do I just run the regular installation again? And what would stop it from doing that again?
From Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. Sometimes a hotfix or Service pack can interfere and cause this problem.
I repaired it and it worked! Thank you very much. That just relieved a lot of stress, I've got a project due soon. Thanks again for the quick response and helping me with my lack of knowledge of computers.
It's all good. That's what we're here for. Glad you are all fixed up!
