Autodesk software service disruption: Wednesday, August 12, 2020

We have been made aware that a renewed AutoCAD software license is only valid for the most recent AutoCAD software version from the vendor.  However, as we are running an older version, the new license is preventing access to the still supported older version.    We are working with the vendor to obtain a valid license, but the process is being delayed due to maintenance being done by the vendor on their servers.   We will provide an update once we have the problem resolved.

Update: A new license has been installed and AutoCAD is again available, as of approximately 2:50 PM.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing,
