Hi all,
my company is setting up a testing PC to test and see if the Autocad 2002 license file works on a different PC.
It has been found out that the license file is locked to the current server with a signature keycode.
We have no record as to who is the previous administrator or manager that purchased this license back in 2003.
I hope someone from AutoCAD can assist on how to regenerate the license file to allow it to work on new PC.
The AutoCAD license comes with a parallel port license dongle that is already plugged into the testing PC.
I've replaced some real details with xxx due to privacy.
The error message as attached from the lmtools.

Solved! Go to Solution.
The license file is locked to the particular PC, you can regenerate license from the Contract Manager's Autodesk account or request Autodesk support to do it for you.
But as it's a 2002 product they will probably refuse to do so because singe 31 Aug 2019 activation of product versions 2010 and older is not supported anymore:
