AutoCAD LT 2014 and Windows 11 Fatal Error

[cem61565]

I recently bought a new computer system for my home with Windows 11. After installing my AutoCAD LT 2014 and activating the program with the activation code sent to me by Autodesk. When I try to open the program I have a "Fatal Error" (see below) and then the program shuts down.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Autodesk no longer activates 2014 and older versions of any of their software.
AND
LT2014 is not supported in Win11.

Sorry.

Hope you still have your old computer and it still works to go back to... good luck.

Did you find anything when you did a search on the error code?

If your activation code is good, you may need to get something that mimics and or is running the OS that is appropriate for the program.
