license error

Anonymous — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 19:02:51 GMT

I downloaded AutoCad Architecture the other night and once the installation finished I attempted to open the program, but got a license error. I am using a autodesk student account. The error reads: "The license manager is not functioning or is improperly installed. AutoCad will shut down now." I have Revit on this computer as well and i used revit all through the last year, but it also is now saying the same message. Please help.

Hello @Anonymous,

Sorry about this. Please let us know what other Autodesk products you have installed & their versions.

This issue can be solved a number of different ways try :

Make sure to sign-in, install with Windows Administrator & launch with Administrator permissions (right- click & click "Run as Administrator")
License Reset of the software to make sure the licensing is activated properly then test by launching the program
Clean Uninstall of the program use MSfixitTool to complete the uninstall
Prepare to Download & Install
Then install the programs in ascending order, so AutoCAD 2016 & Revit 2016 then AutoCAD 2017 & Revit 2017 Using the Browser Download Method in your Autodesk Account

Please let us know if you still have an issue.
