Licensing issues with Autodesk product and/ or Access issues. 

Or

Causes:
Corruption is the main cause. 


Solution:
The main solution is to delete the “Loginstate.xml” but I have had to do other steps as well due to more extensive corruption than originally anticipated. The location of the loginstate.xml depends on the OS (Operating System) that is being used.

Solution A: Is using the Licensing Support Tool (For versions up to 2023)
