When my company has the maximum number of users on the network we get the usual message stating that a license could no be attained..... My frustration is that when this happens, many variables are reset on the machine that tried to access the license. maxsort is set to 200 textfill is set to 0 mbuttonpan is set to 0 autosave is set to 120 minutes saveas is set to autocad 2000 the dictionary and text editor are unchecked pickbox is reset grips is reset I am not sure what else is reset, but I can't figure out how to keep this from happening.
