Hello All

Thank you in advance.

I tried several times to get 2020 working.
first I had an issue with License time-out after starting ACAD. Then I totally
uninstalled the program and now I cannot install it die to an error#=> 1603.
Then after reading some suggestions, I installed License update then I get a
message saying I cannot start autodesk desktop licensing service and get an
error# => 1053. Something so simple is taking me forever to solve. any
suggestions will be great. Here is what I tried thus far.

Please note it worked for about 2 months and
then I started getting License timeout error.

1. Update License
2. Give FULL permission to files and folders
as needed
3. Fully uninstalled and reinstalled ACAD
4. Uninstalled and reinstalled license
5. All Virus / Firewall disabled

I am running windows 7 with current SP

Did you post the same question over at CADTutor? Did you follow ALL of the procedures as suggested by Autodesk for preparing a system for a clean installation of its software?John Connor2019-11-16 11:32:31

Hello John,What I ended doing after looking at the event log was to disable the "Software Protection Service". Now I'm good to go.Thank you for your help and I'm sure I'll be back with some more dumb questions BRKenJG
