JTB AutoClose

Do you use a borrowed network license and want to prevent the "License Borrowed" message from showing up every single time you start Autodesk® AutoCAD®?

[The license on this machine has been borrowed from a license server. You can continue to use this product during the borrow period without a connection to the license server. The borrow period for this license expires on: … To access the product again after the license expires, you must reconnect to a license server.]

With this freeware for AutoCAD and verticals it is possible. It will automatically close this dialog box for you.

This dialog box by AutoCAD or Autodesk Desktop App will also be closed: AutoCAD requires 1024 by 768 resolution or higher to run. To resolve this problem, you should increase your resolution.

This app is a Freeware.

The installer creates a shortcut entry in your Start menu Startup group to automatically launch the application when Windows starts. This ensures that you never have to dismiss that dialog ever again - even on your first AutoCAD startup of the day.

You can minimize the app and it will run in the background as an icon at the Window Tray.
