Autocad 2016 for mac not opening

Anonymous · ‎01-20-2016

I recently transfered my files from my macbook pro 17" to my Macbook Pro 15" Retina late 2013, and now autocad 2016 will not open. The first time I tried to open it it asked for the activation code I entered it and then it crashed and then did not load up again after. I uninstalled it multiple times and still to no avail it will not load. Can someone please help

Macbook Pro 17" Early 2011

Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.2

Macbook Pro 15" Retina late 2013

Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the community!

Sorry to hear about the issue. Are you getting to a splash screen? Have you tried reinstalling from the virtual agent?

Hi,

If you transfered you system from old Mac, than I'd suggest you to look at this article:

thanks maxim_k the link worked great. who would have know it was the migration that corrupted the flexnet folder. Thanks again Maxim_k.

Apple should do something about this issue, it is nerve racking and wasted 2 days and more money that I care to mention.
