Is anyone else having problems with having to re-register Revit periodically on macbook pro (intel based, Revit 2009, bootcamp, parallels)? 

I keep having to  do this, it requires a new activation code and I'm getting tired of having to call Autodesk for a new code, I'm sure they are too.  Any help would be much appreciated. this is the only issue that's keeping my new mac from being ideal.

 

Thanks.

I share the same problem and frustration! I will keep looking for an answer to this problem and if I get i will post it for you to have it too. they told me it had something to do with the clock system wehn running windows or rebooting for windows, are you running bootcamp or parallels?

 Good luck.

I think I solved the problem, seems we're not the only ones experiencing this.  I'm pretty sure it was parallels that was causing the problem.  I read somewhere else that when you switch back and forth  between parallels and bootcamp, parallels messes up the registry file for some programs.  I didn't like the sound of that so I ditched parallels and haven't had the problem since.  Sketchup used to crash all the time in OSX, but that seems to be fixed too.  My advice: windows through boot camp only, no virtual machines; or vise versa.

I am Glad you don't have that problem anymore... I am not so lucky then... for I have never used parallels and I have had to ask for new activation codes from autodesk which really stinks. I hope I don't get it anymore.... I am only using bootcamp.
