The subscription license has lapsed or been canceled.
The product has been returned through a reseller or the online store.
Check the previous version eligibility list.) (This can also happen if with an active subscription contract.
The product has been upgraded to a different product.
(Active subscription contracts have previous version benefits, so this does not apply to them.)
The serial number has been upgraded to a new release.
The serial number does not match the media (or product key) used either during installation or during initial activation of the product.
The serial number is for a network license rather than a stand-alone license.
The license changed from serial number to "Sign In" without serial number.
Note: When switching over to Industry Collections from the Suites (standalone) deployments, you can change the serial number by clicking the 'Update' link under License Details as shown.Causes:There are several reasons this message may appear during an activation, including: Note the network license borrow option on the right side. You can also confirm the serial number and license manager server name from About then Manage License.Ĭlick the > arrow to view the serial number and confirm the license server name. When you re-start AutoCAD, you will again be prompted to select your license type. If you happen to have a drawing open when you change license type, or your network license manager is offline or inaccessible, you will be prompted to save your work, if you need to. When you are ready to switch to network or standalone (desktop) license, the About command then Manage License shows the option to Change License Type. If your license manager isn't updated yet, you can start using AutoCAD in trial mode that lasts a maximum of 30 days. Once you select a license type, you will be prompted for the serial number and product key. When you install AutoCAD 2017 for the first time you are not prompted for the serial number, product key or license type until you run it for the first time. Starting with AutoCAD 2017 it's now much easier to change the license type from Trial to Stand Alone or to Network in the program.
