the best thing to do is delete it, uninstall then do a system restore then reinstall it

so what was the fix for this issue?
I have the same problem and am having no luck finding a solution.

I found an article on the AutoDesk website that references the error message having to do with the Softlock License Manager not functioning or being improperly installed. However it was in regards to AutoCAD 2000 and not a later release. Maybe the info contained within is of some value.
