COM api Check for valid AutoCAD license

[Anonymous]

I am building a stane-alone VB.NET application using the COM api. Is there a way to check for a valid AutoCAD license from the network license manager? When a license is unavailable I get an error "Cannot create ActiveX component", but that is a little vague and not really telling me that there are no licenses availble.

I don't believe there is an API for checking licenses...

Thanks, too bad, it would have been helpful to have this feature.

You could always Catch the error, then inform the user "Cannot start AutoCAD, check for licenses, blahblahblah".  Not ideal, but certainly more graceful than crashing out.

Absolutely, I was just hoping there was an api call that I could explicitly check for the license. Thanks.
