Thank you for your reply , unfortunately i have already tried everything there as it didnt work posting to forums was my last resort , though i do have a slight issue regarding the solutions , i dont have anything running or even installed called "flex net licensing". Thank you for your future replies.

Hello

1) Are you running a Networked FlexLM License ?

2) If NOT, you could try this (Even if in theory, it's for 2018 !?) :

3) On which Windows exactly are you running ?

4) Is Windows Update ON on your PC ?

Hi @burak.kuralay

Please check that your Flexnet service is running in Windows. to do this please open the Windows Start Menu and type in "services.msc" and hit enter.

In the list of services please look for "Flexnet Licencing Service" and make sure it is running, if not right click it and click start.

Failing this you can reset the license information on your computer for your Autodesk software and attempt to reactivate from scratch:

Also if you have system restore points enabled in Windows you could restore your computer to an earlier point in time when everything worked correctly. Please advise this will undo any settings that have been changed on your computer since the backup date but shouldn't effect any work you have saved:

Please let us know if you fix your issue and what it was that fixed it to help anyone else having this issue.

1)Im running the student version of autocad 2017 and lgs.data says its standalone . Also i dont have flex net installed as it doesnt show up on services.msc

3)My OS is windows 10 and it should be updated yesterday.

4)Yes it is.

@markcalloway

I dont have flex net installed on my computer.I will try reseting the license now , and restoring to a backup is problematic right now as im in my workplace , i will try doing it when i get back home and the problem remains unsolved. 

Thank you for your replies.

Hello

1) You can try a RollBack / Restore Windows to before the yesterday Update !?

2) Maybe look at this :

Thank you both of you @braudpat @markcalloway rolling back? restoring to a previous update (win 10) worked and autocad works properly now.
