AUTOCAD for MAC Continuously crashes

I have installed AUTOCAD for MAC 2014 and it continously crashes. (Starts up but almost immediately crashes when I start to us e it). I also have the Adobe CS suite which I have read could be my issue but I cannot figure out how to manipulate it to fix the problem. (I am not super technical like everyone here). I have looked for folders that dont seem to exist (FLEXnet publisher) that are suppose to be the root to my issue. Can some please help or walk me through this issue.

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!

 

Hi,

If you are able to start using AutoCAD (as you wrote "Starts up but almost immediately crashes when I start to us e it"), than there is nothing to do with Adobe software.

How do you start AutoCAD - from Dock, or by double-clicking on DWG file in Finder?

If the last - are those DWG files created on Mac or on PC?

What if you start AutoCAD and than wait for some time with opened default Drawing1.dwg? than if you start to draw something in this new empty file - does it crashes?

I am not a tech person so I had my friend remotely access and fix the issue
(apparently it was an issue with some file that adobe and auto cad both
write files too?!?-FLEXnet Publisher) Anywho, then I had to wait for
another activation code. I am 40 mins into a project and it hasn't crashed
yet. Sooooo...if that wasn't the real deal fix, I will let you know. Thank
you actually responding.

Whelp.....after all that, I got about an hour and a half in before it crashes this time!! Guess your right, wasn't what I had though. Sooo I am at square one again with this crashing AUTOCAD.

So, now you can answer my question about the nature of DWG file you had a
crash with.
Can you reproduce this crash? I mean can you repeat your actions when
AutoCAD crashed?
How complex is your file?
