Anyone know of any problems with installing a network license after a trial version has previously been installed? 

I am trying to get Revit Arch. 2009 running for a customer.  All of their computers are able to pull a network license, EXCEPT for one computer.

All communication is good between the server and this client machine.  We've pinged the server name and IP address and pinged from the server to the client (name and IP address).  All that was good.  The client is not remotely located.  All firewalls are turned off and security software disabled.

The only thing that we are aware of, that's different about this computer vs. others, is that a trial version of Revit was initially installed.  During the trial period, the client tried to install his network deployment.

We've uninstalled (and used the windows clean up utility to do a CLEAN uninstall.  When the deployment opened in demo mode, we tried a network install from disk.

Revit continues to open in demo mode on this computer!  I'm at a loss.

Reformat, reinstall windows and start over. Autodesk has a very aggressive copy protection scheme.

Alternatively call Autodesk and have them walk you through it.
