Fusion 360 on Multiple Machines

[NOVALightLabs]

Just learning Fusion 360 with a personal license and I had a question about multi-machine access.

I invested in a small form factor computer for my CNC. Something to check design files and run them. It works great.

However, I am not able to get Fusion 360 to boot with my current email and password. It gives me a non-descript error. I follow the promot and there are not many suggestions. I AM able to login to Fusion Team sooo.... Is this to be expected?

I am not making tooling for Coca-Cola here I'm just trying to learn the program and see if this is a career I'd like to spend more time in. That being said is there anyway to allow a dual computer setup like this?

To be sure, I'm not looking for concurrent sessions. Just to be able to create a file in my office. Save. Upload. Then go to the garage and open to the file. Run it. Tweak if necessary.

Any work arounds here? Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry to hear of the trouble.

First, ensure Fusion is not loaded on the other system. On the 2nd system can you try:

• Check to ensure there are no pending OSX updates needing to be installed. Reboot the system to be sure.
• Remove the folder Web Services. This is found in /users/{username}/library/application support/autodesk
• Remove the files NMachineSpecificOptions.xml and NGlobalOptions.xml. These are found in /users/{username}/library/application support/autodesk/neutron platform.

Excellent, thank you for the reply.

So it sounds like this is possible in theory I just need to try these few steps?

You got it. I’ll give it a try!

Okay, I updated the OS for any patches.

Next I deleted those folders you specified.

Then I downloaded F360 again and it works! Thank you very much!

How did you know to delete those folders?

Hi,

Glad to hear you're working.

On the files, those are option files and one if "machine-specific" options and wondered if the other system might be different.

Thanks for using Fusion 360!
