FAQs Regarding CAD Installation/Licenses

The most common questions asked are regarding proper installation of the software and/or obtaining a license from our TIPS server.  Here are some common problems and fixes:

• Make sure that you've changed the licpath.lic file located in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk Map 3D 2009 folder to licpath.txt
  
  
• Check that your environment variables are set as outlined in the distribution letter.  If you are unsure how to set/check your environment variables, follow these steps. If you don’t have permissions to do so, see your IT personnel.

• For Carlson Mining license issues, make sure that you’ve edited the hosts file as outlined in the distribution letter, as well as the environment variables.
  
  
• Set your environment variables for the westls server first, since the majority of our licenses reside on that server.
  

If you still cannot get a license or are having problems with the installation, please contact our Software Manager,
