that would be fine but the appilcation does not even launch to allow me to get into preferences 

its crashes before the app opens, everytime

Hi,

Do you get Crash Report window?

Maxim

[emersontodd]

no .. nothing.. just stops loading  and closes 

[maxim_k]

What if you will create (temporary) new account on your Mac, than login to it and try to launch AutoCAD?
Does it go?

Maxim

[emersontodd]

yeah just tried on the guest account but same issue sadly.. 

[maxim_k]

This means that you probably have a problem with activation.
What kind of licence do you have?
Did you have AutoCAD installed on your Mac before?

Can you also try account with administrative privileges (not guest)?

Maxim

[emersontodd]

till the same problem ... could it be a bad install?

[maxim_k]

Sorry, you did not answered my other questions:
What kind of licence do you have?
Did you have AutoCAD installed on your Mac before?

[emersontodd]

Sorry missed that question. I have a purchased LT license, which I have used on a pc for the last few months. I have now just moved to a Mac and this is the first time I have tried to use it

Do you see Autodesk 360 icon on the menubar?
If yes, than click on it and choose "Exit" - try to launch AutoCAD again.

Could you also post here the contents of System.log (from Console application) at the moment when you are trying to launch AutoCAD?
