autocad 2011 Licensing has stopped working

[redhelpdesk]

We have the Educational audodesk suite, and it has been working fine up until this week.

It has started popping up for every user that logs in about unable to locate the license. However, if they simply then select server and enter the name of the licensing server, it then works fine, until another user logs in.

The 2 questions are, why would this start happening all of a sudden, and also, is there a way to fix this simply.

Thanks

I have occassionally seen this happen before.  It could be a permissions issue on the licpath.lic file.  I would probably suggest manually add the server name as an System > Environment Variable.

Hi, and thanks for the reply. Do I need to implement this on every single machine we use AutoCad on?

You will need to implement this environment variable on every client workstation that needs to run an Autodesk product.
