I was able to run Feko earlier this week. Today I am met with this error when I try to run any of the Feko components, like WallMan or ProMan:
I have obscured the activation key:

I tried to Deactivate/Reactivate the license, thus the very recent "Generation Time"
Am I understanding it right that the license file only contains keys for the product codenames "HyperViewTrans", "HyperWorksEDU", and "romAI", and that the requested feature "FekoGUI" is not included in my license?
When did this happen? It is a Student Edition License obtained from the Marketplace.
Please help me, i really need to access my data for my research!
Thanks.
