can't use previous versions

I installed AutoCAD 2016, and was still using 2012 and 2015 for other clients of mine.  I was able to use all three versions since I installed 2016 about 2 weeks ago.  Now I can't run any previous versions.  2012 gives me a Fatal error.  2015 tells me either 1) This version was not installed properly or 2) You don't have sufficient rights to run AutoCAD.

 

What happened, and how do I fix it?

When starting AutoCAD 2016, did you answer yes to migrate any customization?

A lot of users around here this week are reporting difficulties running 2015 all of a sudden: are you in subscription? If yes, log into the subscription management page, click on the support link at the top and seek direct support.
Something is going on with 2015 this week.

Do you have any customization that might of been migrated?

We don't use that option, because it tends to break the 'older' version of AutoCAD if its still installed.

With the migration, I believe it transferred over my customized menus and LISP programs. However, when I installed 2016 with migration, I was still able to use AutoCAD 2012 until yesterday.

For others who come along and discover this thread - when things are working, create Windows Restore Points.

Do it now!

I appreciate the tip for the future, but how do I fix things today?

I can?t run any AutoCAD, and I can?t even re-install 2016. In case you didn?t get the email. Here are the errors when I tried to re-install.
