Hi,

 

I am trying to use the WinPropCLI feature to run propagation experiments in batch mode. However, I am encountering the following error:

 

Error (0): License Error!
Cannot initialize license:
ERROR : 20.0 Feature WinPropSolver or HWWinPropSolver not found on license file

Error (13): License check failed

 

I am using the WinProp 2020 with a student license. Is this feature not available in the suite or do I have an issue with my license?

 

Thanks!

 

Anurag.

    Hi,

     

    in order to check the license situation please try first to run the same project in the ProMan GUI version.

    Alternatively to the WinPropCLI.exe you might use under Windows also the command line interface, see chapter 6.1.2 of the user manual.

     

    Best regards

    Hi Reiner,

     

    I am able to start the project in the GUI and the WinPropCLI.exe program gives me the same license check failed issue when I supply no arguments to it as well. I have tried out the ProMan.exe command line option but it seems to launch the GUI indirectly, I was looking for a more batch style interface.

     

    Thanks!

    The WinProp Command Line Interface (WinPropCLI.exe) calls the WinProp API in the background. The API, however, is not included in the student license. This is because the API is well-suited for production work.

    Hi Martin,

     

    What is the type of license that is required for using the API? Would an academic license work?

     

    Thanks!

    Yes, I think that the limitations only exist in the Student version, not in academic licenses. I believe academic licenses are the same as commercial licenses, just orders of magnitude cheaper. You could always ask an Altair sales person to give you an academic license for an evaluation period to be sure.
