When you use an Autodesk product like Autocad or revit on Windows you may face an error "e license manager is not working, Autocad will shut down now." This problem is annoying because it stops you from launching the software, although you have a valid license. There are many ways to solve this issue.
Common Causes
The common cause when error occurs due to:
1) Corrupt Licensing Components:
Autodesk uses a “flexnet” licensing service to verify your license. If the license is missing, the software cannot start.
2) Recent Windows Updates:
Sometimes Windows updates modify the files
so it affects the license system.

Missing or damaged files also can stop the license manager from running.
4) Antivirus or Firewall Interference:
Security software may block the license verification process.
