How were you able to get this resolved?

I had previous versions of inventor still installed on the machine.

I uninstalled all of them & that seemed to resolve the issue.

Hi all,

I go to C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\AdskLicensingService.

End then delete file AdskLicensingService.sds.lock, so my AutoCAD LT can work normally.

I uninstalled and then re-installed the Autodesk Licencing Service.

Its on version 11.1.1.17 as of today 1 Nov 2021

I also installed the latest 11.1.1.17 update

This seems to have fixed the problem.

The issue was with AutoCAD 2020

I tried to stop the Autodesk Desktop licensing from running in the Services and run it again and it worked for me.
