How to fix Registration Activation Error (0015.111) for any Autodesk Products?

The solution for the error registration activation error 0015.111 during any Autodesk product activation has been split into five parts (to make it easy to follow) as shown below:

  1. Disable all the settings (Protections, Securities, Firewalls etc)
  2. Repair your Autodesk product
  3. Use xForce or Activator correctly (if you want to use)
  4. Perform Autodesk product clean uninstallation
  5. Autodesk latest version or fresh installation of your Windows

01 Disable all the settings (Internet, Protections, Securities, Firewalls etc)

The first thing you have to do is quite simple and common for most of the programs and software but a very important step to be taken. Based on your operating system’s settings, there are several protections you might be using without knowing how they would create issues in the successful installation of any software or programs. We will need to disable all the settings that would stop the program you are installing to copy or create appropriate files in the local directories.

Disable all protections, securities and firewalls settings on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11 for example;

  1. Third party antivirus.
  2. Windows defender.
  3. Windows firewall.
  4. User account control settings
  5. Try to activate your Autodesk product.

  1. Before you start part-02, ensure you have followed part-01 as shown above.
  2. Go to the control panel on your computer
  3. Click on Programs or Programs and feature.
  4. Right-click on AutoCAD; you have installed and failed for registration.
  5. Click on Uninstall/change.
  6. Hit the yes option.
  7. Click on Repair or Reinstall.
  8. Select Repair and click on Repair or Next.
  9. It will take approximately 2 minutes to repair and then finish the process.

03 Use xForce or Activator correctly (if you want to use)

I do not recommend piracy of any software. I highly encourage you to purchase the software from the official site of Autodesk. More than 12,000 people are working in the company to create fantastic Autodesk programs/software, so please respect their effort and stop piracy. However, if you are still using any xForce or Activator and facing this error, then these steps guide you to avoid this error. We do not have any suggestions for using pirated programs or software.

  1. Please ensure you have followed part-01 and 02 as shown above.
  2. Use xForce or Activator when software or program asks to insert an activation code.
  3. Make sure you right-click on your xForce or Activator and select Run as administrator.
  4. Click on Patch before generating code.

04 Perform Autodesk product clean uninstallation

If you have recently installed the same Autodesk product or program and, for whatever reason, you have removed it and then reinstall the same version or program, you might face this problem. If you have followed all the steps listed in the 3 parts above and still face the same error, then I would recommend doing a clean uninstallation of the Autodesk program/software that results in the error. Watch and follow the steps in the video below to do clean uninstallation of the product.

How to do clean uninstallation of your Autodesk products?

Once you do clean uninstallation of your Autodesk product, install your Autodesk product again. (Please ensure all the steps in all the parts listed above have been followed)

05 Autodesk product’s latest version or fresh installation of your windows operating system

This part is the last option if part-01 to part-04 does not work for you. There could be two possibilities;

  1. Your operating system is the latest version and does not support old Autodesk products discontinued by Autodesk (Old versions). In this case, you should install later versions of Autodesk products like 2020, 2021 etc.
  2. Your operating system is faulty or incorrectly installed. In this case, you have to reinstall your operating system using the right method and then reinstall your Autodesk products.

If following the steps above do not help you fix the error, please reach out to me on WhatsApp. You can reach out to me with any queries/comments/feedback relating to AutoCAD installation or any other Autodesk products using the comment box below or on my WhatsApp.

    I have 2005 AutoCad Mechanical Desktop, keeping Windows XP running, just for this software & now can’t get an activation code after C: drive failure. Nothing was reloaded, only copied everything to the new drive. Everything works fine, but MDT only worked 3 times, before the activation code problem. I had my D: drive failure in 2019, & Autodesk gave me an Activation code, after I couldn’t get the website to generate the Activation code. I’ve been on disability for 16 years & sure can’t afford to lease or buy a new version of AutoCad. Is there any way to get this software to work again?
