Our company has AutoCAD 2008 Network with 1 seat. We just purchased an upgrade to AutoCAD 2012 Network and a second seat. The upgrade and the second seat each come with its own serial number. I have gone to the web site and generated a license file for each serial number. I then edited the license file to include both seats per the instructions that I have found also on the site. The Network License Manager (NLM) is up and running on a Windows 2008 server. I have added the license file at it is accepted. When I check the status it shows the server is up and there are 2 licenses, 0 being used. See STATUS1.txt attachment.
I then created a deployment for a 32bit Client. I used one of the serial numbers and the product key (located in the MID01.txt file). I pointed to the NLM server for the license. I then used the deployment to install the 32bit Client on a Windows 7 system. It installed without issue.
When I launch AutoCAD, I get the [0.0.0] error. No valid license. Nothing seems to work. I opened a ticket. A new license file was created by support and pieced together and sent back to me. I then used this license file. Now when I look at the status, I see only 1 license, 0 being used. See STATUS2.txt
When I attempted to launch AutoCAD on the Windows 7 system, I still get the error (No valid license file).
I completely uninstalled the client, destroyed the deployment, recreated the deployment, and reinstalled the deployment. Still same issue.
I believe everything is setup correctly, I just can't get a good license file. Any ideas?
