This might be unavailable in AC, but a need I have none the less. The context is I am trying to make my business more user friendly for help not skilled in AC. I have around 400 different PLN's I maintain and regularly send out PDF sets. Essentially ...

I believe this started after a Ventura update, or maybe AC26 update. CodeMeter no longer starts up automatically at computer start up. The preference pane shows "start services" so I unlock it, start services, lock it back, but it does not restart on...

You can see in the screen shots that on the left I am able to show the Sona Tube as white circle with the 8x8 post on top, and all on the footing properly. That's what I want, but when I place that same saved View on a sheet the round Sona trube colu...

This seems to have started with a recent Ventura update. After restarting AC can not detect license. I can open CodeMeter in System settings, unlock it, select "Start Service" and all is well, unless I restart the computer. Any ideas how to fix this?...

Man, it's getting scary to update AC anymore. The magic wand was fine, now AC crashed twice wanding a wall to a slab??? It was fine before the update. And what does it take to stop AC from demanding screen focus just to open??? I am so tired of typin...

That seems to have done it. I am actually on Sonoma, not Ventura. There was an update in Nov, so the link above was old. At least it opened after a restart running  Thanks for the help

I downloaded CodeMeter from the link above, and it is an older version, so maybe that's it.. 7.40.4990. However, I did find it has the arm64? I can start services, lock the Lock, restart and it opens unlocked. Thank you for helping, Rick

Another weird behavior is Codemeter opens unlocked and I leaved it locked. Even after another uninstall and reinstall same behavior needing to manually start services.

Yes, I did get arm64. It seems I am not the only person having this issue, so hopefully Graphisoft will fix this. Hopefully they will accept this as an AC issue and not as they said, a Rosetta issue.
