AutoDesk Inventor - Inventor cannot access your licence.

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm a student and I've registered on autodesk, everything was fine.

I did manage to install it a while back. However, I had to unistall it.

Now that I've installed the software again, it was working fine yesterday (on the day of the 2nd installation).

But today, I get the following error.

Anyone to help me out, please? 

Thank you.

Thank you for refering me to these posts.

It did help and I've resolved the issue.

I've applied the AutoDesk Licensing Service update and followed the steps below. Easy fix.

1. Click Start (or right-click Start on Windows 10) and choose "Run."
2. In the Run box, type services.msc.
3. In the Name column of the Services console window, find the Autodesk Desktop Licensing Service and check whether its status is Running.  
4. Right-click on the Autodesk Desktop Licensing Service and select "Properties."
5. In the Properties dialog, use the drop-down menu to change Startup Type to Automatic (Delayed Start) and click "OK."
6. If Autodesk Desktop Licensing Service is not running click on "Start" to start the service.

Thank you again and I hope this helps others as well.
