Why can I not access my License?

When installing on a Windows 7 machine, if the license server and client are on the same machine, licenses might not be accessible.

Resolution

If this occurs, two files must be modified.

• Open licpath.lic (typically found at C:\Program Files\Autodesk\product) in a text editor and change the following text

  SERVER localhost 000000000000
  USE_SERVER

  to

  SERVER 127.0.0.1 000000000000
  USE_SERVER

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts.

  Add or un-comment 127.0.0.1 localhost.
