Causes:

Connected to a Network Device

Have not contacted the Autodesk licensing Server in more than 30 days.

Solution:

·        Connected to a Network Device

If you are connected at all to a Network Device (Network Cables plugged in, WIFI running). Even if you cannot access the internet this will still cause this error you must disable WiFis and Unplug the Network cable. Launch the software and then you can plug these back in.

·        Have not contacted the Autodesk licensing Server in more than 30 days

If you have not launched the program in 30 days and let it see the Autodesk licensing site you will get this as well. You must 1^st launch the product so it sees the Autodesk Licensing site. Then unplug disconnect and they Product should launch and then show the 30 day count down counter in the upper right.
