"Establish an internet connection to continue" for Within 2016

[Anonymous]

When I try to start Autodesk Within I get this error:

I have been unable to get past this screen everytime I open Within, and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times, but I still get this error. How can I fix this?

Hello b.n.johnson and welcome to the Autodesk community!

It looks like you're seeing the "Desktop Subscription Licensing" error. This error sometimes occurs due to an Autodesk licensing hotfix, lack of proper connection like network flow is blocked by Proxy Server or an Autodesk Servers Issue. The following article(s) should help you resolve the problem:

Those articles were for 2014 and 2015 release versions, however I went ahead and tried the solutions presented but they did not help me with my problem.
