AutoCad authentication conflict with Logmein
On the current release of AutoCad and the past several releases there has been an issue while trying to authenticate AutoCad subscription. You get an error: Error: "The License manager is not fun...
I have not really tested this, but it is probably worth a shot for you to try. Anecdotally, I feel like if we sign in to the Autodesk Desktop Application, it seems like it might be a workaround for this issue.
In other words:
- Install AutoCAD (or whatever Autodesk software you need). Don't worry about activating yet.
- Install the Autodesk Desktop App and sign in to that using the Autodesk account that has your AutoCAD license assigned to it.
- Then go back and open AutoCAD and see if it is activated and/or gets around the issue discussed in this thread.
If it works, post back and let us know. But I definitely still think that LMI and Autodesk should fix the underlying issue.
Hey Randall,
I have asked around but we don't have any idea what AutoCAD needs to finish its registration, so therefore it's hard to say where the conflict is exactly...
Have you guys contacted AutoDesk in this matter or are you going to contact them or is this just a dead subject?
I also have to deal with this, and naturally I would really rather not. I just had to travel to the office today so that I could activate Revit licenses on several computers. Remote access is not much good for our users if they would be prevented from activating software that is critical to their job function.
