Are you having issues with the new AutoCAD 2017 License Manager—or just like knowing where to find troubleshooting information if you need it?
The new License Manager is designed to make managing your software licenses easier and improve the way you set up and change trial, stand-alone, and network licenses, and more. Which, for the vast majority of installs, it does. But you won’t care about that if it’s not behaving the way you expected it to, or if the whole thing is just taking more of your time than you’d like.
The good people at the Autodesk Knowledge Network (AKN) research and write articles that anticipate possible issues, respond to known issues, and generally help make your AutoCAD lives easier.
Here’s what the AKN has lined up for troubleshooting AutoCAD 2017 License Manager issues.
