Too many users, but NO ONE ELSE IS USING>?>?

[wncads]

I am getting an error message that says "TOO MANY USERS" please try again later. However, this is a stand alone and no one else uses the Autocad. I am running AutoCad 12 in a dos/win98se environment.

Any ideas on how to get this message gone and functioning properly...

Thanks,

Here are a couple of things to try....
Try this first...
Start ACAD with -r switch, goto Operating parameters // Server authorization and re-enter your number of users
there (don't just press Enter, but retype the number).
This will re-validate the PWD file again without any need to deal with CFG file.


Make a backup copy of acad.cfg. After deleting acad.pwd and reconfiguring (blow through it quickly). Save the config, exit AutoCAD, then copy your backup acad.cfg over the one you just created. Also, R12c4 is better at handling the aftermath of crashes that affect acad.pwd. I think you may be using an earlier revision.
(however you might need to replace the acad.cfg as well if you experience loss of plotter configuration and wierd display problems)
