Still getting an error? At this point, your IT administrator may need to diagnose a deeper issue with your computer.

Cause

This error can have several possible causes, including:

• Skipping a step while activating F/X CAD
• A problem with the FLEXnet Licensing Service
• A corrupt LGS.data file

Solution

F/X CAD users: Have you purchased F/X CAD? Follow our steps to license (activate) F/X CAD, making sure to enter your Product Key and Serial Number. Activating will often resolve this issue. If you’re certain that you’ve activated your installation successfully and you’re still getting the error, complete the steps below.

Getting a Clock Error message?

You might see the following error message before seeing the licensing error: Clock Error: Check that your system clock is set to the current date and time before you try again.

Step 1: Ensure that the FlexNet Licensing Service is running.

1A. Open the Windows Start menu.

Type Run in the search field.

Select the Run option that appears at the top of the menu.

1B. Type services.msc in the Run dialog box, then click OK.

1C. The Services screen will open.

Scroll to the FlexNet Licensing 64 entry. Do you see Running in the Status column?

• Yes: Close the Services window and move on to Step 1D.
• No: Skip to Step 2: Check software restrictions.

1D. If the FlexNet Licensing 64 service is not running, right-click the word Manual in the Startup Type column to the right of this entry.

Select Properties from the menu that opens.

1E. In the Properties window, select the General tab and select the Automatic option from the Startup Type menu.

Click OK to save the change.

If necessary, you can start the FlexNet Licensing 64 service by right-clicking its blank entry in the Status column and selecting Start from the menu that opens. When the service is running, you’ll see Running in the Status column.

Can’t start the service? Your Windows profile may have insufficient permissions. If so, ask your IT administrator to grant you the proper permissions.

If you’re using AutoCAD 2018 and can’t start the service, install the Autodesk License Service (x64) — 5.1.5 Hotfix.

Step 2: Address software restrictions.

If the FlexNet Licensing 64 service is running but you still see the error when you open CAD, check to ensure that your CAD installation is able to access the domains listed in this Autodesk article.

Are you using a proxy server?

If you’re using a proxy server, open Internet Explorer and click the gear icon in the top right corner of the window.

Select Internet Options from the menu that opens.

In the Internet Options dialog box, select the Connections tab.

Click LAN Settings. In the dialog box that opens, select the option to Automatically detect settings and enter the Proxy IP-Address + Port in the Address field.

Click OK to save the change.

If your proxy requires authentication, enter your Proxy and Credentials in the Autodesk Desktop App.

Step 3: Enable Active X controls.

Still getting the error? Here’s what to do next.

3A. Open the Window Start menu and type Internet Options in the search box.

Select Internet Options from the top of the menu.

3B. In the Internet Properties dialog box, select the Security tab.

Click Custom level . . In the dialog box that opens, scroll down to the following two listings and select Enable for each one:

• Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins
• Script ActiveX control marked safe for scripting*

Click OK to save the change, then click OK in the Internet Properties dialog box to close it.

Step 4: Set folder permissions.

If you’re still getting the error at this point, your next step should be to grant Full Control permissions to all folders and registries listed in our article on user permissions required by AutoCAD or F/X CAD.

After setting the folder and registry permissions, run your AutoCAD or F/X CAD installation as an administrator by right-clicking its icon and selecting Run As Administrator from the menu that opens. If it runs properly and you don’t see the error, you’ve likely resolved the issue.

Step 5: Re-create the licensing data file.

5A. Close CAD (if it’s still open).

5B. Navigate to the folder C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx (where 20xx is your year version of AutoCAD or F/X CAD (AutoCAD 2019 shown as an example.

Double-click the file acad.exe from that location.

Attempt to open CAD from the location where you normally open it. If it opens and you don’t see the error, you’ve resolved the issue.

Are you still seeing the error after launching CAD from the folder listed above? Move on to the next step.

5C. Close CAD again.

5D. Download the LGS.data file for your version of AutoCAD or F/X CAD using one of the following links.

5E. Double-click the downloaded file (it will be named LGS.data-2017, LGS.data-2018, or LGS.data-2019, depending on your version).

5F. The file will unzip and create a folder. Copy that folder into the following folder on your computer: C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\CLM\LGS\

5G. Open AutoCAD or F/X CAD. If you don’t see the error, you’ve resolved the issue.

Still getting the error? Move on to the next step.

5i. Start AutoCAD or F/X CAD. If you don’t an error message, you’ve solved the problem.

Still seeing the error? At this point, your office IT administrator will most likely need to diagnose the issue and possibly reinstall Windows on your computer.

Step 6: Restore the CLM folder.

Still getting the error? Navigate to the folder C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\. In that location, change the name of the folder CLM to CLMold.

Now open the Control Panel and select Programs and Features. Repair the x64 version of each Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable version you see installed by selecting that version, clicking Change, and then clicking Repair in the dialog box that opens.

If you also see one or more versions of the Autodesk Licensing Service (x64) in the Programs and Features dialog box, select each of those entries and click Change as well.

In this same location, right-click each Autodesk License Service (x64) version you see and click Change.

Open AutoCAD or F/X CAD. Still getting the error? Move on to the next step.

Step 7: Reactivate the license.

To complete this step, you’ll need to be able to view hidden files and folders.

7A. Delete the files listed below from within each of the following folder locations:

• C:\Users\username*\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ADUT: Delete all files within this location.
• C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet:Delete all files in this location whose names start with adskflex.
• C:\Users\username*\AppData\Local\Autodesk\Web Services: Delete the file LoginState.xml from this location.

7B. Restart AutoCAD or F/X CAD.

7C. Navigate to each of the folder locations listed above. The files you deleted should have been re-created in those locations.

If the files you deleted were not re-created in these folder locations, here’s what to do:

Open the Windows Start menu and type Internet Options into the search box.

Select Internet Options from the top of the menu.

In the Internet Properties dialog box, select the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the Security section and ensure that the Use SSL 3.0 option is selected.

Click OK to save the change and close the dialog box.

Open your version of AutoCAD or F/X CAD, and try to activate it.
