License error when launching from cygwin

User: "Altair Forum User"

I am getting an error when I try to launch HyperWorks from a cygwin window. If I launch the hw.exe file directly from windows it opens fine. But if I launch the hw.exe file from cygwin I get the following error: 'Unable to create any clients. Check license file.' There are plenty of license available, not sure why it fails out only when launching from cygwin. Has any one seen this before?

 

Thanks

    its the time zone variable, the time zone specified in the license file has to match with that in the system.
