Why do I have less features in PSIM than before?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Earlier this week, I had some problems with the student license (I was getting error -40 I believe), so I deactivated the license and activated again. Now I was able to use PSIM again, but I was getting new errors with a program I knew it had worked before. So I checked the license setup and noticed I did not had all 4 features activated, and I could not change the active features.

I uninstall and install PSIM again, and deactivated once again the license, but I still couldn't change the features. What can I do?

Note: Researching here, I found out that Code Gen is not part of the Student License, and that you cannot change the features. But I know for a fact that when I first install PSIM I had all 4 features active. Could it be that I was using the free trial when I first install it?

Dear @LMP14 , yes it could that. If you are referring to the free Academic version found here, it includes all PSIM's features for power supply and motor drive design, but does not include Code Gen and Co-simulation features. This is the main limitation compared to the full paid version.

Thanks for the answer! Then I am having a problem with the Power Supply feature. Even if I mark the box, an error with that feature shows up after the license registration process is over (Once again Error -40).
