Inventor CAM 2020 - Addin will only obtain license when run as administrator

tdswanson — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 15:16:44 GMT

I've recently installed Inventor 2020 and subsequently Inventor Cam 2020.

I happen to be the IT guy here at our small shop, so I'm a full administrator on this local machine as well as the domain. I had no issues getting Inventor activated and run.

However, the only way I can get the Cam addin to license is if I right click on the Inventor shortcut and choose "Run as Administrator". I have done the following:

Repair installation on Inventor CAM – No change
Reinstall Inventor CAM – No Change
Remove Inventor CAM, Reboot, Install Inventor CAM – No Change
Uninstall Inventor CAM, Uninstall Inventor 2020, Reboot, Install Inventor, Reboot, Launch Inventor, Update Inventor, Reboot, Install Inventor CAM – No Change

Anyone else run into this or have any tips? I have a ticket open with AutoDesk, but their last suggestion was just to keep launching the software by right clicking as described above.

Thanks!
