Just dealt with a strange incident where the activation of the Building Design Suite Premium 2012 from AutoCAD, was failing because the Product Key was not recognized by the activation engine.
The dialog box below is displayed and it is impossible to activate from AutoCAD product.
We cannot change the product key because the one appearing in the dialog is the correct one, same thing for the serial number.
To work around this problem, activate the Suite from another program like Revit or AutoCAD Architecture if you have installed it. These other products are included in the Building Design Suite.
Another Suite Problem in our Blog but essentially the same workflow for Maya Entertainment Suite 2012.
