Cannot find valid license

[EastFishkillNY]

We have been running AutoCAD 2013 and then 2014 with the Flexlm Service on our server.  When we migrated from 2013 to 2014, I got a new license file, posted it, started and stopped the server.  Everything worked as planned.  I was able to run 2013 with the new 2014 license file (verified in LMTOOLS).

I just installed 2015 and got a new license.  I installed the license, changed the Config Services in LMTOOLS and stopped and restarted the services.  I can run 2014 AND 2013, but 2015 gives me the “A valid license could not be obtained by the license manager. Error [0.0.0]” dialog box.  I then get the “your license is not valid” error.

I've attached the 2014 and 2015 license files (in PDF) and the log file.

Please advise.

Make sure your NLM has been upgraded to version 11.12.    You are still running version 11.10 according to your log. 

See my Autodesk Network License Manager 2015 post about this.

That should fix the 0.0.0 error. 

Also, don't post your license file on a public forum.  I will have that removed shortly.

@Travis 

I'll d/l the newer version of the License Manager & install it.

I'll repost the results.

Re: the license file: understood. Thanks.

I have seen some problems in the past pointing to the license file on a server UNC path. The best practice is to copy the license file to a directory local on the server and point to it there.

this hasn't been an issue for releases 2012, 2103 or 2014...only 2015.

I can't say I've seen UNC pathing like that either.  And I have been supporting the NLM for a decade.  Is it because you have an old combined license file tied to an old server MAC?  Why not just run it on the local server?

I know for sure I have seen problems with this in previous versions. Bottom line is the best pactice is to have you license file local on the server so if you are having any problems that's what I suggest you do.
