Liscensing error while solving?!

Anonymous

Hi all,

 

I have been using CFD 2017 for a while now and have two licensed seats. I have been successfully running sims on my laptop and recently tried (and failed) to install CFD on a networked PC. Since this attempt the copy on my laptop now gives the following error (See attached). 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,

 

I think this is a different issue to what others are seeing as you had a working licence. If you go to 'licencing' within CFD, can you see what licences are available?

 

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon, I hope you are well? (You were a great help with my last issue,
thanks!)

I've attached a couple of pics with my current issue including the license
manager.

seperate but somewhat similar issue, i'm trying to install CFD on another
PC but it *always *hangs at the initializing splash. I did have CFD on the
PC before, but uninstalled as I was having issues installing inventor and
was advised to do so. Now inventor is installed but CFD won't initialize
installation. It's like I can only have one and not both!

Thanks again

Hi Tim,

 

No problem, glad I could help 🙂

 

For this issue - it looks like you only have a design study environment and no solver licence? Is this a student licence though? (We have been having some fun with these as you can see from the other thread).

 

Regarding the other machine, did you try right clicking to run the installer as 'admin'?

It might also be that CFD did not fully uninstall the first time, let's try the first idea and go from there.

 

Thanks,

Jon

Cheers Jon.

Yeah, this is a student license, it worked fine for a month or so until
last week 😞

Hi John,

 

Do you know if the problems with educational liscences have been resolved? my teaching labs workflow ground to a halt a week ago and i'm dying to get CFD running again!

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

As far as I know, yes. Could I ask you to take a look at this article to see?

Student CFD licences

 

Thank you,
