Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

Thanks for providing the log file but you also need to provide details of what you're experiencing..

Anyhow I see the following

There's a license manager already using port 27000.  Autodesk uses this as well.  So either change the other license manager to use a different port or review this article.

Next I notice you are using version 11.6 which is a old version.  What version of Autodesk products are you even using?

My solution to this specific issue

adskflex: The desired vendor daemon is down.

Re-register license file with update Mac address.

This happened recently when moving around VMs to updated host servers.

I am a gradute student trying to get an old lab up an runing and one of the programs we use is having idl issues , keeping me from having the full access that it used to have. I'm having a very similar issue to the ones brought up in this forum. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,
If I remember correctly, it was a weird setting on our server that they (PPI- https://theppigroup.com/ our autocad supplier) had to fix, I ended up having 2 guys remote in and work on our situation and after about 3 hours they fixed it. They ended up having to force our server to read the Flexnet files. I wish I could remember all the details, cause it was frustrating for all involve.
