Licensing System Error 30: failed to start AdLM

[scotthex]

About a week ago Revit stopped loading on my pc for no reason. No error reports there was simpy nothing when the Icon was clicked.

After reinstalling it twice still the same issue. Got in the IT company who deal with us and they did a system restore back to a month ago. Now when I load up revit the window opens up but this Licensing error 30:failed to AdLM appears and I can only use Revit on demo mode. I go to Product & Licensing Information and go to register as standlalone and the same error comes up.

I have now tried to uninstall it but it wont even allow me to do that with a setup window coming up saying this patch package could not be opened.

Iam at a loss as to why this has happened and how to put this right. It is obvious a licensing issue but I had on a license for months and it worked fine up until a week ago.

My computer is windows xp 32bit 2002. It is not the fastest but it does the job.

Highly frustrating, any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi Frederico,

Não, estou no ISCTE.
Eu consegui instalar mas teve de ser o 2015 em portugues. 

Esta a funcionar bem no pc por isso acho que podes tentar, eu tentei tudo o resto e nao consegui. 

Cumprimentos,

Vanessa

For me this error happens when I change the Revit shortcut from

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2016\Revit.exe" /language DEU

to

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2016\Revit.exe" /language ENU

When I change the shortcut back to german it works again fine. Win8.1 / Revit 2015 Student 20150303_0715(x64)
Update Release 7
