Autocad LT for Mac 2014 not responding

Anonymous · ‎07-18-2019

I have Autocad LT for Mac 2014 installed on my computer.
It has suddenly stopped working and I urgently need it to function again.
I am running it on a Macbook Pro (Mac OS Mojave, version 10.14).
When I click to launch the software, it doesn't open up and eventually stops responding entirely.
I urgently need to have it up and running for my job. Please can you help me ?

Hi Sebastian,

Autocad LT for Mac 2014 is not supported on macOS Mojave. The last macOS on which it is supported is El Capitan (10.11)
You will not be able to reset or reinstall it on Mojave.

Hi, I wonder if somebody can help me with this. When I try to open AutoCAD 2014 on my MacBook pro it gives me an error message,"

“FNPLicensingService” will damage your computer.

and does not open. I understand that the new mac software may be the issue. is there a way around this? i tried to uninstall the software, but i received a message that I should speak to the developer of the software. thanks for your help.

Hi Maxim

My CAD used to work on this MacBook pro. Is there a way in which I can make it work again? Is there an update I can download? Or can I download the CAD onto a PC?

Thanks

John

Hi pendean

It is Catalina 10.15.3.

Is there an update I can download?

Thanks

John

AFAIK your only update is a subscription to a newer version: whip out a credit card to complete your purchase here https://www.autodesk.com/products/autocad-lt/overview?plc=ACDLT&term=1-YEAR&support=ADVANCED&quantit...

>>>>> Is there a way in which I can make it work again?
No way unless you will install one of supported macOS on your MacBook Pro - Apple® Mac® OS® X v10.11 (El Capitan) or Mac OS® X v10.10(Yosemite) or OS X v10.9.0 (Mavericks) or OS X v10.8.0 (Mountain Lion).
>>>>>Is there an update I can download?
There is no Update for AutoCAD 2014 for Mac for compatibility with macOS Catalina.
>>>>Or can I download the CAD onto a PC?
It depends on type of your AutoCAD for Mac licence. Theoretically you can use your license for using AutoCAD 2014 for Windows.
