Free Trial period finished after 6 days!

Anonymous — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 22:37:26 GMT

Downloaded the free trial and used this for a few days but this morning I'm getting "Licensing Error" and when I follow the "Autodesk Customer Support" link it seems to indicate "Error 10: Activation Limit Reached". This is a stand alone trial installation, so I don't understand why I'm seeing this error or what to do to fix it.

Any suggestions please.

Hello dean.beagley 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:

Welcome to the community..

Did anything change with your date/time setting in your Windows OS? Anyhow there's nothing that you can do to bring back the missing "X" number of days for your trial. There's no activation with trial periods so the method you tried wouldn't work anyhow. You can install another version of the application to get another 30 days or contact a local reseller and see if they have any upcoming events that you can sit in and review the application.

Thanks for the response, I suspected that might be the case. I’ll have to speed up the purchase…..
