How do I get "searching for available license key" to leave

I typically have several instances of AC open. Everytime I wake up (the computer) from sleep the dock icons for each instance pop and pop until I finally get annoyed and select them, which opens the hidden window, and the pop-up goes away. I wish I had not switched to the software license. It has no redeeming value for me. Quite often when I am running a manual update for externally linked files on the drawing sheets, and AC just sits, until I remember that dam window for the external instance is telling me it can't find the key, and since it is hidden it just sits there... and the key it available, but that window has to do it's pop up thing to be satisfied. ????


I assume to get a hardware key now would be expensive.

Is this common... or something correctable? Thanks

The hardware key also does the same thing until you activate the particular AC window and it goes away.

I don't remember having this problem with the old WIBUKEY, except maybe every now and then. This is bad.
