A student experienced Revit 2018.1 giving him this rather useless error message: Licensing System Error 1 After Googling for a solution, we installed/repaired all the Visual C++ runtimes we could find in 3rdParty\x64\VCRedist and in 3rdParty\x86\VCRedist from the Revit 2018 distribution. Success! Shame on lazy developers not willing to code reasonable error messages explaning what […]

Yesterday, a student installed Autodesk Revit 2018 on his Windows 10 x64 laptop. He then upgraded to Revit 2018.1. After entering the licensing details, Revit crashed. Installing the latest drivers from nVidia, currently at version 385.41, and rebooting the laptop saved us from any more grief.

I’ve been exploring Pässler PRTG on Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (Microsoft Imagine Premium) for the past couple of days.

Et virus definerer jeg som et uønsket program som installerer seg uten mitt samtykke, sender data til en fjern server, har uønskede funksjoner, og er vanskelig å bli kvitt. Altså det samme som Windows 10. Ref.: http://www.digi.no/bedriftsteknologi/2016/03/17/er-du-blitt-tvangsoppgradert-til-windows-10#comment-2576121180.

KB3146449 is another update one should avoid installing.
