AutoCAD 2015 won't open on OsX

[ourcrimescene]

I installed AutoCAD 2015, went through the activation and installation process perfectly, but now it won't launch. It freezes completely and the only way to make it stop is to force quit it...which doesn't get it to open. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but nothing helps.

Also, I have OS X Maverick, not Yosemite.

EDIT: The reason I have 2015 is because 2014 also would not open so I thought installing the newer version would help, but it doesn't. When I open my activity monitor, it shows the AutoDesk License Manager running using like 40% of my CPU

Hi,
As you don't provide additional details, I suspect you also have problems with Licence manager as OP had.
I answered his another question here:

But still doesn't have respond from him.
If you have the same problem, you can try my suggestion from the link above.

I got the same problem(installing perfectly but couldn't launch it). As my time machine is closed, I assume it is not due to the liscence. 

I have OS X YOSEMITE.  please help!

I'm having the same issue, and not using time machine or other migration. I had to install it twice as I had the same problems when I first installed it. Remove AutoCad did not remove a certain file that then prevented me from re-installing (I found it via the Activity Monitor).

So after reinstall on 1/24, and only getting it to work that one day, it fails to come up again. I have closed every other program, as well restarted the machine numerous times. I even installed 4 more GB of RAM. The machine is a late 2008 MacBookPro, runs 10.10.2, has processor 

2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB.

thanks!

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi,

So you was able to use AutoCAD for one day. Am I correct?

Yes, one day. As I answered this, I thought I would check the Activity Monitor again. It still showed Autodesk360 running. I foreced it to quit, and ttried to re-open. It did open, and 360 did NOT show up again on several subsequent re-opens. So this problem at leastseems to be solved for the day....

Thanks!

You need to remove Autodesk 360 from Login items in Users pane of Mac OS System preferences in order to prevent it from launching when you restart your Mac.
