PSPICE-FOR-TI: Issue of "A valid license was not found at <none> license server"

Part Number: PSPICE-FOR-TI

Tool/software:

Hi Experts,

Today, I suddenly cannot use PSPICE; it worked yesterday. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, still has the same error.

Does anyone know how to solve it?

Thank you

Jiaqi Yuan

  • Please reboot your PC and try again and create a debug file and share it with us if you still have trouble:

    • Create a new environment variable "CDS_LIC_QA_TEST". Set it to something like C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\LicLog.txt where you have write permission to.
    • Run PSpice for TI if installed or the installer if not, wait for the error message to be shown, then check if the file C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\LicLog.txt is created.
    • share the file LicLog.txt
    • Delete the environment variable "CDS_LIC_QA_TEST". (otherwise LicLog.txt will keep growing).

    thanks,

    JC
