Your license is invalid

[autodesk]

I am receiving this message on one machine. It is a WinXP machine running C3D 2009 (standalone) with Raster 2009 (network). Every so often (and we cannot tie it down to a certain command sequence) he will receive this error and then C3D will exit. Since it is a standalone machine, I am not sure why this message is occuring at all. It happens after C3D has been launched and work has been done for some time. Is there something that would trigger the license to be checked? We have both standalone and network licenses (using FlexLM for th network license). I have taken over the CAD manager duties fairly recently so I am not sure if this was done off of an installation network image or installed directly from the CD/DVD's.

Any suggestions on how to keep this error from occuring?

Thanks,
Andrew Roberts

Are you *sure* it's really a license error?
I have seen this message appear when it had nothing to do with the
license. IIRC - it was just the users windows profile that was corrupt...

I will look into it. This is what I was looking for. Any additional information on how to check this and/or correct it, please let me know.

Deleting the user windows profile and creating a new one is a possible solution??

Thanks.

We have a low end PC that will do the same thing when inside large files:
the same exact error message comes up about the time AutoCAD chokes in
Windows.

If it's not the Windows profile as noted above, it's AutoCAD choking for
lack of resources.

I have seen this issues before. This typically happens when the system resources such as virtual memory are low. Boost your paging file to the max size and see if it still happens.

We have tried a couple of things and I am going to give them a week to see if there is any change.

We have increased his RAM from 2GB to 4GB
Turned off his page filing
Enabled the 3GB switch

Hopefully one or all of these will help.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!
