Cannot Activate AutoCAD 2009

Recently my clients asked me to install Autocad 2009 into her notebook. The installation process ran fine at first. Then, came the activation process. I saw the product activation’s box below just after I double clicked the Autocad 2009 icon on Windows desktop

Capture

I clicked button Next and the weird looking interface appears. See below.

Capture 

Operating System –-> Windows 7

Application Software –-> AutoCAD 2009
 

Solution:
  1. Cancel the activation process first by clicking the button Cancel on the AutoCAD 2009 Product Activation’s box.

    Capture
  2. Now, press Capture --> type regedit –-> click OK –-> click Yes to launch Windows registry editor. 

    Capture
  3. Double click HKEY_CURRENT_USER –-> Software –-> Microsoft –-> Windows –> CurrentVersion –-> Internet Settings –-> Zones
  4. Then, you will see a subfolder just under the folder Zones indicated by the blue arrow below –-> right click on the subfolder –-> click Delete.

    Capture
  5. Click to highlight the folder 0 –-> find out data item named Flags –-> make sure its value is 0x00000021 (33)

    Capture
  6. Try to activate the AutoCAD 2009 again.
