I just installed Autocad 2016. When I'm opening the program I have 3 messages
1. 'Your licence is invalid. Please contact your local authorized AutoCAD dealer'
2. 'Your licence is invalid. Please contact your local authorized AutoCAD dealer'
3. 'This product has not properly activated on this system'
I owe an educational licence and my operating system is Windows 8 64bit. Any ideas?
Enabling FlexNet fixed mine, as it was disabled for some reason.

Thank PeterPhuong456,
I tried his steps on Windows 7, it worked. The folder i tried is located in the C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet.
The steps i did:
- Back-up this folder.
- Delete this folder.
- Run AutoCAD
- Do the activation.
P/s: I get this error, and after i re-install the software, i didn't found the active button. So i tried this help. Hope every one could do it.

The chances are that it has expired as edu licenses only last 3 years and 2016 has been out since, I believe 2015, so unless you downloaded recently its probably expired.
Edit: Just read posts, it was flexnet not expiration though be aware licenses for 2016 will soon be ending.
