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.
Well a couple of years later and still nobody willing to fix this issue.
What I have found now is when you login to AutoCad do NOT login to AutoCad itself. Login to the AutoDesk Desktop app. This will authenticate and then you can login to AutoCad. Works for AutoCad 2019 and newer at least.
