Revit 2010 Network License Manager

[jcoe]

Is anyone else having trouble with this. We are having an awful time using the network license manager in 2010. Many workstations are getting this error message (see attached). I am not really sure what this "Use Extension" thing is either.

Were not getting the message over here, unless we leave Revit 2010 dormant for a long period of time. Then it gives the license back to the server...

Yes I have seen this error and notified Autodesk subscription on the problem. That was last week and I was told that I would be notified when the problem was fixed.

We were trying to run a previous version of revit that should have been included with our license file.

Have you upgraded your LMTools?
the old version does not support casscading licenses.

Autodesk has resolved the issues with the bad license files. It is also advised to upgrade your lmtools version to the newest version which is 11.5 as eldad has pointed out.

You might want to contact ABC and have then resend the license files to you. I did not have to give them all my server information again, I just asked that they resend me the files that they sent me before for the 2010 products.

Good luck.

I've had this posted to Autodesk...

Its very possible to lose work with Network license MEP 2010 at present

15:15 start MEP and Create New Project
15:17 Activate worksharing and create central
15:20 Closed Central
15:25 Create Local - add duct and minor mods
15:39 save local and synchronise central
15:59 save - license drop out - cannot STC or local

Cannot use extension to save

I've tried clicking on the application button - it shows I have a license, but I still cannot save.
One thing worked...

Borrow license
Return License
Can save now

How happy can you see users having to do this multiple times

Autodesk managed to come up with a Hotfix for 64-bit to fix this issue (http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...linkID=9242019) but hasn't released anything for 32-bit (to my knowledge).

When given the option to "Use Extension" keep in mind that this is not an extension of time. It gives you one command then you have to use another extension.

What has worked for us (when we lose the license) we click "Use Extension" then Save (locally) and exit Revit. Then open Revit again, wait about 30 seconds, then open your project and STC. This seems to work.

Good luck

Hi everyone

I have had +- a month of fighting with my network license. After opening Revit 2010 and viewing the License information I got the following errors -

Network licensing connection is established.
License type: Network
License usage type: <17>
License behavior: <17>
License expiration date: error 17

I have finally fixed the problem. You have to uninstall ALL AutoDesk programs & remove ALL traces AutoDesk from ur machine. Go to http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=TS45252 & follow the steps.

Hope it helps some of you. Have a great day

Does anyone have any more solutions on this problem. I have tried the Autodesk hotfix but it did not work?

Thanks
