  • Hi Thorsten,

    I'll submit this to Cadence. Not sure about the 022071 error.

    I see the error with the registry key. I think that may be the source of the problem.

    Let me check further and get back to you.

    David

  • Cadence is looking into this.

  • Hi Thorstren,

    Cadence has come back with a partial answer.

    A couple of questions also came up:

    Did the app ever work? Even once with a valid license check-out?

    Can you try uninstalling, re-booting, and then re-installing? Unless you've already tried that and the problem persists.

    Copying from their message:

    From the logs it appears that licensing configuration data was not created properly or has been deleted.
    Some entries in licensing configuration data are correct and could be read:
    05/13/2024 15:32:47 (pid-35960-35952): (vbl) License file path stored in the registry is
    C:\Users\a_thkopp\AppData\Roaming\Cadence\VBL\TI_PSpice_231\license\license.txt

    However, some are not found in the registry:
    05/13/2024 15:32:47 (pid-35960-11596): (vbl) Error: Getting registry value size for a key has failed. Registry key name:
    server_configuration - error code: 2

  • Hi Thorsten,

    Did you see the above?

    Did PSpice for TI ever work?

    Did you try reinstalling?
