All new deployments install fine, and each fresh install seem to successfully complete the license activation contact with Autodesk’s server (we get the activation email each time), but they hang on startup after that at “Checking License” almost every time, usually for 3+ minutes. Our deployment has worked for almost a hundred installations when we rolled out 2017 throughout December. This issue has been happening with any new installation since the end of January. We use Windows 7 x64.

This issue occurs with an AutoCAD 2017 standalone deployment and install direct from disc, and an AutoCAD installed with BDSP 2017 deployment. Both licenses used to be on maintenance prior to the beginning of December. This issue also happens on new activations and transfers using the LTU.
We’ve tried, with no success: • Remade the deployment fresh from the install disc. • Different PCs (existing PCs that didn’t have this issue previously as well as completely new builds). • Installing on fresh Windows 7 builds with and without Windows updates. • With our firewall and AV disabled. • These suggestions: • And the procedures below from Autodesk email support: A) A workaround for this issue is to create an outbound rule on the local firewall that blocks connections to 169.254.169.254. The following are instructions for adding this rule to Windows Firewall. For 3rd party firewalls consult your firewall documentation to add an outbound rule that blocks connections to 169.254.169.254. C program files x86internet download manageridmanexe version.
Open Windows Control Panel and go to System and Security and then Windows Firewall. Click Advanced settings on the left panel to open “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security”. Single click the “Outbound Rules” tree item on the left panel, then choose “New Rule” on right panel to create a new firewall. Select Custom and click next. Next select the All Programs and click Next button.
Skip this page by clicking the Next button again. Select These IP addresses button, which you will find under Remote IP addresses. Click on Add and enter the IP address 169.254.169.254 in the designated space. Click OK and then click Next.
Select Block the connection tab and click on Next to proceed. Click Next again to include Domain, Private and Public. The Windows will ask you to write a description for the firewall rule. After entering at least a name, click on Next button. Click on Finish to create and implement this rule that will block the desired IP address Note: The rule to block may not stick with AVG firewall. To resolve you will need to disable AVG firewall and have Windows manage the rule. Kaspersky caused this problem.
Turn off the antivirus solved the issue. ESET Antivirus would also cause this issue. Adding the rule would not solve it.
You will have to uninstall ESET, reboot, and the product would launch again. B) You can unplug the network cable when launching the Autodesk software once launched you can plug the cable back in.
