Anonymous — Thu, 26 May 2016 10:14:27 GMT

I just installed Autocad 2016 on Windows 10.
But when I open the programe I got these message.

1. 'Your licence is invalid. Please contact your local authorized AutoCAD dealer'

2. 'Your licence is invalid. Please contact your local authorized AutoCAD dealer'

3. 'This product has not properly activated on this system'

My operating system is Windows 10 64bit. I installed AutoCad as a Free Student Software.

Hello @Anonymous;

Welcome to the Forums!

Typically, this is a Windows system setting that needs to be changed, but there could also be some Windows 10 complications rearing their heads.

Please make sure that all of the Windows Updates have been done (and the system restarted) and check again.

Also, if you have not already done so, please install Service Pack 1 for AutoCAD 2016 as it is not supported on Windows 10 without it:

AutoCAD 2016 Service Pack 1

If those do not get the program going, please check out this article about the error:

Error: "License is invalid" when working in the program

Please post back to let me know if any of those fixes get you back up and running.

FYI about Windows 10 and AutoCAD compatibility:

Windows 10 and .NET 4.6 support for Autodesk products
