How do I contact Autodesk support for AutoCAD LT for Mac?

hannah — Tue, 10 May 2016 23:16:16 GMT

I have a registered license for AutoCad LT 2016 for Mac, and every few days, when I try to open my application, I get an error.

The error reads:

AutoCad LT Alert:

Configuration file may be locked by anoterh process of have been set to Read Only (.cfg, .bak). Fil/Applications/Autodesk/AutoCAD LT 2016/AutoCAD LT 2016.app/Contents/Frameworks/acadlt2016.cfg

Please correct this problem and press Retry or press cancel to exit application.

I have registered this error with AutoDesk and no resolution has been presented to me, nor has anyone from AutoDesk reached out to me to resolve this issue.

It would be awesome if I could either chat with someone online (am I missing something? I got an email from AutoDesk telling me this was possible, but I can't seem to find the portal for this on the website) or call someone and get an actual person on the phone! I don't really have the patience or wherewithal to peruse forums all day.

Any insight into how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

This is one of the topmost posts in the forum in the gray area that you bypassed to post http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-general-discussion/schedule-a-call-new-way-to-access-tech-support/td-p/6033963/jump-to/first-unread-message

Most of us around here will not call you, we are customers just like you, not Autodesk employees: this is not Autodesk Support, but you can explore that in the other post you flew by http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-general-discussion/enhanced-support-upgrade-for-lt-subscribers/td-p/6025328/jump-to/first-unread-message

Did you restart your PC yet? What changed in the few days when it all worked?

Hello - thank you for your quick response! I must have been in a haze of frustration and confusion when I bypassed the post... Every time this has happened I've had to uninstall and reinstall the software. Since my post, I did track down a technical support hotline and a case has been initiated for my issue. Hopefully, we'll figure out a more permanent solution to this recurring problem.

Thanks again for your time,
Hannah
