autodesk licensing can DIAF and go to some really unpleasant afterworld to be very very uncomfortable for an extended period of time!!!!!!

I mean fff how is it I pat for stanalone licensed for about 8 different applications from this wonderful conpnay and yet I CANT activate them ????? And for some reason there is no acurate record of the sn so we are essentially functining on guesswork here I mean it's not frickin rocket science?!!??

Oh and the fact that if you make any chanes it breaks everything afkoddfghhjklll

F*ckrs are solely concerned about protecting their f*'ng IP. The bs you have to go through for the privilege of installing their product. The one for which you pay that annual support fee so you can use a "support" site that has no content. I love waiting for the support chat monkey to get around to me so s/he can send me a .pdf that I SHOULD HAVE EASY ACCESS TO! I only work for a reseller.

Hoist one for me.

Sorry no advice but I've dealt with Autocad licensing and feel your pain.

People wonder why I have such a pathological response to "activation" based DRM. Engineering programs are the answer.

This is the kind of shit where even if I'd purchased it, I would leech a torrent of the app with the copy protection stripped... just because it's otherwise IRRITATING.

I hate Autocad anyway. Yeech.

Ditto on that. I've done the same myself with disks that have broken or become to scratched to use.

Autocad, Bentley, they all suck. I've never seen such a clusterfuck as engineering software licensing.

ok thank jeebus i thought i was alone in this. like try installing multiple versions and from multiple years with licensces coming from multiple resellers with no proper documentation in an organization spanned across an entire country...

CLUSTERFUCK

i somehow managed to get it all working last year... using network licenses that didn't technically exist because standalone seats WOULD NOT activate... but then we switched to a new license manager and i was like NOOOOOO MY PRECIOUS ITS GOING TO BREAK EVERYTHING and lo and behold it did and i managed to take out my entire civil department for like two days this week!!!!

LIKE SERIOUSLY SOMEONE PROVIDE ME SOME GD DOCUMENTATION AND I WILL READ IT BUT I DO NOT ACTIVATE ON SMOKE AND MIRRORS HERE YIIHGHHHHHH
