All Autodesk 2017 products including Revit 2017 and AutoCAD 2017 are now functional.
When you open these programs you will be prompted which license mode to use. Select "Specify the License Server System" and click "Next." Type “local-testlm” (without the quotation marks) and select "Finish." This will allow you to use the software and borrow a license. Remember this must be done on the campus network, either connected to eduroam or wired.
Directions on our website at https://wit.edu/software will be updated by the end of the day tomorrow.
If you are continuing to experience the issue or need further assistance, please contact the Tech Spot at 617.989.4500 or helpdesk@wit.edu. Thank you for your patience while we worked to restore normal service.
