    Thanks,

    Touship

  • Touship,

    Do you have any other Cadence software installed on the same computer? Based on the log file, the installation was successful.

    How did you launch PSpice for TI?

    Thanks,
    JC

  • Hi JC,

    Yes, Orcad Capture and PSpice AD is already installed in the computer but currently the license is disabled,

    I used to launch from start menu--> PSpice for TI 2020.

    Thanks, 

    Touship

  • Touship,

    Would you please check if you can access https://cdsplicwc.cadence.com/chws/test/connection.html?

    Thanks,
    JC

  • HI JC,

    Yes , I can access it. shows 'successful connection'.

    Thanks,

    Touship

  • Hi Touship,

    Please create a new Windows environment variable CDS_LIC_QA_TesT, the value should be a file you can write to, e.g. C:\Cadence\PSpiceTI\licLog.txt.

    Now, close and restart PSpice for TI and proceed with what you were doing.

    When the error message comes up, close PSpice for TI. Share the log file licLog.txt with me. You can attach it to this thread or send me a private message.

    Thanks,
    JC
