AutoCAD: The License manager is not functioning or is improperly installed (Part 3)

Recently I was in an installation support call with a customer that was getting the above message after installing AutoCAD 2018...
I tried everything listed in these articles:
      None of those things worked. 

      Finally what it works was, completely removing C++ from the machine through the Control Panel and installing them again from the software installation folder (my case BDSP 2018):

      C:\Autodesk\(Autodesk_Software)\3rdParty\x86\VCRedist  
      Install each one of them top to bottom 
      C:\Autodesk\(Autodesk_Software)\3rdParty\x64\VCRedist
      Install each one of them top to bottom

      After that everything worked as expected.
      Thank you Sebastian Guevara from the Autodesk Installation & Licensing Department

This is what you need to do if you want to work with CSV files to use the Geotechnical Module... 1. The .CSV files must keep that same name configuration 2. The heather of the files has to match exactly what the Geotechnical Module sample file has: name, space, and order. 3. You must have the mandatory fields for each file If you take care of this everything will work as expected
