Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi,

It maybe an activation problem.
Does AutoCAD 2015 ever been installed on your Mac? have you by chance migrated from another Mac where AutoCAD 2015 was installed?
What System Language do you have on your Mac?
Could you post the contents of the System log file (form Console.app) here from the moment when you pick on AutoCAD icon in the Dock till you force quit it?

I have the exact same problem but have no idea how to find the system log file that you speak of. can you provide details to post this information? I would like to have CAD working this week at the latest as I have a lot of important work to

JUST GOT IN:

It seems to me that you must login to Autodesk 360 - this is in your Autodesk folder (in applications)
Open the Autodesk 360 app - nothing happened for me except the autodesk 360 icon (the swirly looking symbol) appeared on the top status bar.
Click this icon then log in with you autodesk ID
Now open CAD and it should work (this worked for me)
