Civil 3D 2007 Activation Update

It's Back. We have a Hotfix available for 2007 to address an activation problem with anyone using SATA RAID controllers. There are 2 fixes, one for 2006 and one for 2007. This was a known issue in 2006, why on earth is this back?

DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE ON A COMPUTER THAT DOES NOT HAVE A SATA RAID CONTROLLER. (read the fine print)

This update corrects a problem that requires you to reactivate your Autodesk® product whenever you restart it.

Error Message:

After you activate and then restart your product, you receive error 0.1.0011 or 11.1.6011 and are required to reactivate. This problem can occur for Autodesk's 2007-based products on computers with SATA Raid controllers.

Note: This update must be applied to all computers that share a license. Therefore, if you apply this update to one computer and then want to use the Portable License Utility to transfer the license to another computer, be sure to install the update on that computer, too.

If this update is applied to a computer that does not have a SATA Raid controller, the license on that computer will be broken. You will need to reactivate the product to repair the license.
