License Alert, Error [1.5.-18]

[Thom2k]

I have installed a new FlexLM Server v11.4 and requested a new license file from AutoDesk. On the server side everything seems to be fine:

When I try to start the client I am getting Error [1.5.-18]. Does anybody have any ideas on that?

Looks like a pre-release beta code.
Technically a -18 error means "License server system does not support this
feature" as if you're trying to launch a product you don't have codes for.
Either double check you've got and reread the correct license file, or else
call Autodesk and request another file. I've had this happen before. I've
also had starting and stopping the service (instead of just re-reading the
license) help this error.
Still, that product code you've cited is a beta code.

Not too bad at AutoCAD either

Thank you very much for your response. I had to request a new license file twice and now it is working. It was indeed a license file for a pre-release version.

No problem. Learned that the hard way, myself.
