Unable to open my dwg.

kimUKWUF — Sun, 23 May 2021 03:44:11 GMT

I am trying to open up my latest drawing and a window pops up with this on it: " license checkout time out. What do you want to do? 1. Save drawings and quit. 2. Quit without saving. ' When I hit on the 'save drawing and quit (the only option I really have) it quits. I need to get into my drawing. My payments autorenewal is up to date. Not sure what to do.

Thank you for your help.
When I go in to install updates for AutoDesk I get a few error messages.
‘You can’t open the application ‘AutoCad Lt 2021.1.1 Update 64 bit.exe” because Microsoft Windows applications are not supported on macOS. ‘
Note: Although, I have gone and downloaded the latest Windows for Mac.

I am not sure what do from here.
Thanks,
Kim

@kimUKWUF

It is strange that you downloaded Update for Windows version of AutoCAD....
Are you using AutoCAD LT 2021 for Mac?
If yes, then the last Update for it is here:
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-lt-for-mac/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-lt-for-mac-202111-hotfix.html?v=2021

>>>>>I have gone and downloaded the latest Windows for Mac.
Not sure what do you mean.

According to the article I mentioned in my previous post you need to download AdskLicensing-x.x.x.x-mac-installer.pkg and adlmflexnetserverIPV6.pkg from your Autodesk account or download Autodesk Licensing Service -mac- 11.1.0.5629 installer file. The instructions about installation are >>>>here<<<<< - LOOK FOR macOS section there.
