I have a student version of Algor Simulation Professional. I am a very new user of the software. I have been going thru the tutorial files supplied with the installation. Some of the tutorials require the use of ".ach" files to complete them. The problem is that I can not seem to open them. I select a folder for the archive restore location in a sepeate "tutorial directory.
I then get the message "The license key required to use the control was not found or is invalid", followed by "unable to complete archive retrieval; the archive was extracted but no files were found to open". Is there a way I can open these files or does my license not allow it. If so how I am to complete all the tutorials? Or I am missing some important step?

It seems something wrong with your ach file extraction.
A workaround is to extract the ach file with winzip or other zip package, since ach file follows zip file format.
So you can change the extension from ach to zip, and then extract it with tools. After that, you should have .fem and other data available.
Hello,
The problem you encountered is related to a registration problem. If you have administrator privileges, or can get an administrator, these are the steps you need.
Thank you for your help. I tried using winzip and it worked very well. I will now run the bat file to see if it provides a permanent solution. again, thank you.
