    Hello @Dor Mitnik 

    The error on the dialog in your screenshot refers to a different file to the one you attached. It refers to FEKOenvironment.lua (without "FromSetup" in the name). I think line 105 is where the license location gets set. Maybe check that the path to your license location does not contain a non-ASCII character? If you attach the file "FEKOenvironment.lua" we can confirm if it is the license location that is causing the problem.

    Kind regards

    Thanks, it seems the error is triggered by the license path setting.

    What is the value of the environment variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH? Is the environment variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH__SETUP defined?

    From the Feko Launcher, select "Terminal" and enter the following:

    set ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH

    set ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH__SETUP

    Alternatively, you can view and edit environment variables from your Windows system settings. Search for "environment variables" and choose "Edit the system environment variables", or open Control Panel > System and Security > System, choose "Advanced system settings" and click "Environment variables". There you can see what values are defined for ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH (and maybe also ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH__SETUP).

    Hey, ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH is defined. ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH__SETUP is not defined..

    In which path should I create it? in the same as ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH or different path.

    Please check that ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH is correctly defined. Do you see any strange characters? Does it contain the correct location where your license file is located?

    ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH__SETUP does not need to be defined.
