License Manager - Not Functioning - Increased occurences

djen — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 19:41:39 GMT

In the last two months an increase in the number of issues the license manager gives me an error. This has not been limited to just my computer, but also the other two installations of AutoCad 2018.

I am not certain what the cause of this is and if or how eliminate the issue.

The fix is not difficult. Here is what I have been doing.

Any suggestions or help to correct the issue from happening would be appreciated.

Thank You,

Dan

Thanks for the link. I have run through most of the steps listed, from similar solutions found online. The only option that fixes the issue is:

I was hoping for a permanent solution that does not need to be down every 2-3 weeks.

Something must be corrupting that file or changing on the system. Is it a virtual machine by chance? Otherwise, you might also consider putting an antivirus exception on that file/folder location.

The 2018-products use a different licensing service. If you haven't installed it already, I would give it a try?
