Failed to acquire vault license

[jeyaar]

I have product design and manufacturing collection license, but somehow vault license stopped working. With inventor license for example I have no issues. 

Before that I have switched from token licensing to monthly license. For some time it worked as it should, but eventually this happened.

Please help to solve this issue.

It would help if you posted a screenshot of your exact error message. Did your license stop working after logon/working for some time? From my notes, see if any solution below helps:

- "Error: Failed to acquire a license" when logging into Vault: Install Autodesk Licensing Service and/or Install Autodesk Single Sign-On (SSO) component.

- AutoCAD or other application (Vault/Inventor) fails to sign in upon launch with the message "'The license manager is not functioning or is improperly installed. AutoCad will now shut down.": use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall the Autodesk Single Sign-On Component, and reinstall it from the Autodesk portal (https://manage.autodesk.com).

- "Product License - Out of Time" error that says "License checkout timed out. What do you want to do?": try updating all the licensing (and other) apps through the Autodesk Desktop App, then remove current licenses using the ADSKLicensingSupportTool (downloadable here: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/customer-service/account-management/transition-to-named-user/update-n...)

Somehow design and manufacturing collection license does not allow to use vault professional. I just use flex licensing solution for vault. 

This was the massage. I tried to restart the computer as well. May be you can advise the reason why I cant use the mentined license

Hm.... again from my notes I have one thing to try here to increase timeout wait times in case needed:

"- Increase timeout values in Vault server:
Navigate to folder C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ADMS(**client product version**)\Server\Web\Services \web.config.
Back up the web.config file from the path C:\Program Files\Autodesk\ADMS (**client product version**)\Server\Web\Services \web.config.
Edit the web.config file in Notepad and increase values from the following keys:

Default Value: <timeouts connection="120" defaultCommand="360" longCommand="1800" />
Updated Value: <timeouts connection="120" defaultCommand="3000" longCommand="1800" />

Default Value:
<replication.mergeagent.settings>
<add key="QueryTimeout" value="600" />
<add key="LoginTimeout" value="120" />
</replication.mergeagent.settings>
Updated Value:
<replication.mergeagent.settings>
<add key="QueryTimeout" value="6000" />
<add key="LoginTimeout" value="1200" />
</replication.mergeagent.settings>

Default Value: <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" executionTimeout="1000" />
Updated Value: <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="51200" executionTimeout="5000" />
Perform an IIS reset, and execute the command “iisreset” from CMD where Vault ADMS is hosted."

well yeah the Collection does not come with Vault Pro

Vault pro is a separate subscription you need to purchase
