Hi, I'm a student at the University of L'Aquila.
I downloaded the student version in March 2019. After a few weeks of use I uninstalled and now installing it again gives me this error when opening hyperworks: 'Licensing initialization failed'. can you help me?

    Hi DAMIANO

     

    Download and install HyperWorks from the link provided in the mail. Set up the license afresh 

     

    Copy the license file to a location that does not change and set an environment variable pointing to that location.

    The variable name is ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH and specify the path of the license file.


    To set an environment variable:
    In Windows 10, Go to Settings -> System -> About -> System Info -> Advanced System Settings.
    Click the Environment Variables button, and add a new User or System level environment variable with the New button. Add the variable name as ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH, click Browse File…, browse to the location that the license is stored and select it

     

     

    If the error still persists, send us the screenshot the error
