1. Locate and delete the .data file and its backup file.

   Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 and 8.1/Windows 10 

   • C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data
   • C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data_backup.001

   Windows XP

   • C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet\adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data
   • C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FLEXnet\adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data_backup.001

   Notes:

   • The above Windows files are hidden files. To see them, you may need to enable Show Hidden Files in the Folder Options window.
   • Running the LMU.exe process may lock adasflex data files and prevent deletion. You can use the Windows Task Manager to check whether LMU.exe process is running. If it is running, you need to end the process.

   Mac

   • /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet/adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data
   • /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet/adskflex_00691b00_tsf.data_backup.001

   Notes:

   • The above Mac files are hidden files. To see them, you may need to open the FLEXnet folder in Finder:
     • In Finder > Go menu > Go to Folder, enter this path in the Go to the Folder box and click the Go button:

        /Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/FLEXnet/ 

   • Deleting the .data file will delete the existing activations for all 2010 and later Autodesk products, which will need to be reactivated. Products from other companies, such as Adobe, may use the same licensing technology and have similar files in the same location, so do not remove other, non-Autodesk files.

2. Launch the product.

3. Follow the standard activation process to reactivate the product for a new period.
