Autodesk A360 Installation Sync Issues

Autodesk A360 Installation Sync Issues

I would like to share recent A360 Installation sync issues we have come across with a couple of our customers. In this blog we will give you an overview of what the issue is caused by and how to resolve it.

Upon installation of new software (including A360), with previous software already installed and running, we have encountered a couple of instances where the previous software errors or crashed. For example, if you have AutoCAD 2017 installed previously with A360, and then decide to upgrade to a newer license, 2018 for example. You may find the older version will cause issues, it may crash or show the properties incorrectly. This is because of a clash of A360 installs, and to fix this you will be advised to re-install the older software completely, for it to re-sync with the newer license holding A360.

The below Autodesk Knowledge Network article goes into more detail on the A360 Installation sync issues, where you will see an example of an issue we experience first-hand yesterday, and I have seen it happen again with crashing errors.
