Hi.

We have AutoCAD 2016 under contract

We removed the AutoCAD from other computer to installing in a new computer, however once we tried to activate this product its shows the error 10(activation limit exceeded).

I can't transfer the licensing because I removed before form the original computer.

Hello jorge.alapisco and welcome to the Autodesk community!

It looks like you’re seeing "Licensing System Error 10: failed to start AdLM". This error sometimes occurs due to a problem with the Flexlm network license manager. The following article(s) should help you resolve the problem:

First thing.. Never and I mean never share your personal information such as your serial # here. This is a world wide public user forum and others can steal your information.

Secondly.. When you reach the activation limit you need to chat with an Autodesk agent using the link to the right (New: Get an Activation Code) of your posting.
