Product License - Out of Time
License checkout timed out. What do you want to do?

Solution:

Update Autodesk Licensing Service and/or Autodesk SSO Component.

In most cases, the license checkout time-out issue can be resolved by installing updates for the Autodesk Licensing Service, the Single Sign-On Component (AdSSO). AdSSO is for Autodesk products before 2024. Autodesk products 2024 and beyond use the Autodesk Identity Manager.

You can either use the Autodesk Access to download and install the updates or click HERE to download the latest Autodesk Licensing Service. Click HERE to download the Autodesk AdSSO (for Autodesk versions before 2024). Click HERE to download  Autodesk Identity Manager (for Autodesk versions 2024 and beyond).

You can also use your Autodesk Account > Product Updates section to download and install the updates.
