I have an older copy of Civil 3D 2009. I like it I have used since I bought in 2009 actually if I am to be honest I preferred Lands Desktop 2. Recently Windows performed an update and now it checks the license when I log in and requires the product to be reactivated but since it is more than 10 years old it will not activate. I purchased the license and I should be able to use the software as long as it will run on my operating system and meet my needs which it does. I am not interested in purchasing an annual license for a new AutoCAD product that will require more down time and learning curve. I am sole proprietor and do a modest business. Does anyone know how to disable this. I have contacted Autodesk and they are no help. I have disabled the Software Protection. Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and still no avail. Please help! I am dead in the water my business is shut down because of this!
