Solved: AutoCAD LT 2018 Hangs at Checking License

Anonymous · ‎07-31-2017

I have had AutoCAD LT 2018 installed on my computer using Windows 10 since May and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden it hangs at "checking license" while trying to open. (Which is what my 2013 version did in early May, and I was told by AutoDesk to upgrade to the 2018 version which I did, and now it is having the same problem). I have tried everything on this link to correct the problem, but it is still not working.

Please help get this working. I have to have CAD to do my job and this is very frustrating.

For a test.. Unplug from your internet/network and launch the application. Does it work?

I tried that and it did not work.

Actually, I think that maybe did work. I didn’t think it worked because I waited for 5 minutes, and it was still stuck. Then I reconnected the wifi. But, then I just clicked on the CAD to see what it was doing while I was working on other stuff, and it was open!!!! This is so weird and I'm not sure if that was even what fixed it, but I hope it continues to work. Thank you!
