I had to re-login to my Autodesk account after a system clock error caused the Maya license to not be found. I fixed the system clock issue, went to launch Maya, got to an Autodesk account login, acquired my license and Maya opened for me.
NOW, I can't use the Hypershade for the exact same reasons. I am running Maya2015 SP6 (things started to go downhill immediately after the SP6 "upgrade" on Sunday).
It seems like nearly every other window I attempt to use works, but the Hypershade is screwed along with other startup scripts and Maya is not properly recognizing graphic card drivers it had no problems with previously:
file -f -new;
//

// Warning: line 0: Viewport 2.0 is not supported by your current graphics configuration or graphics driver version.
The application is reverting to the legacy default viewport, please correct your graphics configuration or set the "Default viewport" preference to "Legacy Default Viewport" to prevent this error from recurring. //
// Result: untitled //
HypershadeWindow;
// Error: file: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2015/scripts/others/hyperShadeCreateAndOrganizeUI.mel line 27: Cannot find procedure "renderCreateBarUI". //
I believe the issue is possibly related to the start-up script that is not finding "modules" in the callPython MEL script:

I do not believe this is Preference related as I have done various things to delete/regenerate/default them.
I am running Windows7 Pro 64 bit with a LEGIT licensed Maya installed.....I believe this may have began with the SP6 patch and is included in 2016 as well.....
