Your post is in English, but the error message is not. Can you translate that for us?

I think the message is related to this article.   However @karlibethh your posting says AutoCAD 2016 but you image shows AutoCAD 2014.   As side note why didn't you apply for network license if you have that many educational license?

One final thing..  Its not a biggie but a recommendation..  You shouldn't  share personal information here such as your email address..  We the users will never contact you by that method and its not something that you should share in a world wide user forum.

Hello @karlibethh,

The error you received is the "The security system (Softlock license manager) is not functioning or is improperly installed". Please review the system requirements for the software. Also run through the steps below: 

1. Click the Windows Start button and in the Run box type "Services."
2. Select the "Services" node.
3. In the services list, locate FlexLM Licensing Service and FlexLM Licensing Service 64.
4. Right-click the entry and click "Properties."
5. Set the "Startup Type" to "Automatic."
6. Click "Start" to start the service and click "OK."
7. Do this for both services. (32 bit systems may have only one service).
8. Start the program to test.

If this does not help, either moving a data file or performing a clean uninstall and reinstall of the Program should fix the issue.
