Running Autodesk Simulation and other Autodesk products on same PC.
Added INCREMENT of new license to my license file but Simulation does not start. Only strange thing is that I get "?\?F?" at the end of Flexlm log file.
You may have appended the file wrong. Post your status enquiry here and I will check.
Hi Travis,
Please see attached.
Thanks for your help

That does seem odd about that log file.
Can you copy the contents of your .LIC file in a PM to me so that I can check its consistency? I don't want you to post that sensitive information to the open forum.
Thanks.
I received your PM, but you need to post your LIC file in it. Thanks.
Hi Travis,
Just got this from Autodesk:
Dear MH:
Thank you for your response.
Kindly note that ASPRO stands for Autodesk Simulation Multiphysics 2013.
We have verified the license file and it's correct.
We kndly ask you to try to activate the product once more with the license file provided by us.

Thank you for contacting Autodesk.
Do you still want to see the license file?

Nah, if they say it is fine then it is probably fine. What error are you getting when you try to launch your 2013 product?
I noticed your license manager is still 11.9. You need to be running 11.10 for the 2013 product line.
Hi Travis,
I have updated the FlexLM tools to:
FLEXnet Licensing (v11.10.0.3 build 96515 x64_n6) started on SELAP367 (IBM PC) (4/10/2012)
But still get this:
Cannot initialize license manager: ADLM: startup Failes
Suggested Solutions:
1. Verify the license manager is running, and ensure connectivity.
2. Verify that license has not expired.
3.Verify that the license is for the current version of Autodesk Simulation CFD.

Any Idea what I should do?

Per your status enquiry, your NLM is running fine. Can you ping the server? Does it get an IPv4 address or IPv6? If it is an IPv6, see my IPv6 fix in my signature link.
Also check for port blocking. Ports 2080 and 27000 need to be open. You can check this with Internet Explorer (not 3rd party browser) by clicking these links for your NLM:
You should get this response for each:
Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60Wê-60
You might also set system environment variables for ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE @SELAP367 as well as FLEXLM_TIMEOUT 1000000.

Hi,
I had the same problem (and message) with Simulation CFD 2013, but i got suspicious because it seemed to be a local failure according the message, but I pointed to another machine as a license server.
After consulting another user (already running the application) and comparing our registry settings, I changed the following key: \HKLM\software\Autodesk Simulation CFD\13.0\Locale. It's value was du-NL (probably due to the language setting of the license agreement during the installation). I changed it to en-US, and voila, it worked, see the attachement. So in the end my license server was not the problem.
I hope this is working for you too.
Thank you for the registry tip, sir.
I also had the same problem. After I changed the registry entry as you said, Autodesk Simuation CFD worked fine.
I was wondering, that how did you find such an intricate change !.
Anyway, thanks a lot for sharing your experience. It saved a lot of time for me.
Hi guys I have exactly the same problem. Also the same error..
Only there's a difference. When I go to the Simulation CFD file with the Registry editor, I also have the folder 13.0 but only there are no files in it. Except for the default file.
I downloaded the program from the site of Autodesk for students. I have got a serial code and product key.
I installed the program, typed the key and serial code in..
But when I go to the students website of autodesk, it says that I haven't activated it yet. Quite strange if you ask me?
I have totally no clue.. What I know is that I need this program to work asap to do some research for my thesis.
Hi Guys,
I am facing the Same Problem. Attached are the screenshots....
When I try to start CFD 2013 (Student Edition), it pops out this message !
I tried to figure out Network License Manager, but I haven't got any license yet
Tried to activate online but it asks for Product Request Code..... (Which I don't know)
Looking for ua help guys !
Thanks
Aadil
You either use the license manager *OR* you activate your product... not both. If your product is stand-alone (or student version) then you need your serial number to activate. If you have a commercial (or nfr) network seat, then you need to obtain your license file.
Make sure you have local admin rights and then manually start the ADLM service if it is not starting.
Travis,
Thanks for your reply.
THe problem is that I cannot do either of them. Simply when I Click CFD Icon, it pops out message....
CANNOT INITIALIZE.......
Can you please let me know how to troubleshoot this. Thanks !

The LICPATH.LIC file is not a license. It is a pointer to the license manager. Since you have a student copy, are you sure that it isn't a stand-alone activation? You may need to reinstall.
