Flex License Manager and Vista
Thursday, May 15th, 2008
If you have a network version of an Autodesk product and you want to run it on Vista, you MUST turn OFF the User Access Control feature.
The FLEX license manager attempts to write a file to the local drive. If the UAC is on, it fails. You don’t get prompted to allow it to write nor does it matter if you are a local system administrator (we were).
The Electrical product would display a flex error message and then start the program. But all the projects were locked and you couldn’t save anything.
To change the settings, go to Control Panel, User Control and click on the User Access Control On/Off option. Uncheck the box to use the UAC. This will force a reboot, so have any other work saved.

AutoCAD Raster Design 2009 Object Enabler You’ll need this in order to import MrSID format files. This is especially important for users of Civil 3D 2009 or Map 2009.
Make sure you download the version appropriate for your Autodesk program. Civil 3D and Map are both technically still 32-bit applications, so you’d need the 32-bit version in this case. (The download site implies it is the OS that determines the download - but I tried on my 64-bit Vista and the 64-bit install did not work.)
