    Hello ASGer,

    Looking at your issue indeed it seems OpenGL version is right.

    What you could try doing is at the root of the installation of omnis5.2 there is a opengl32.dll file present. Could you try to copy it under the bin directory. (omnis5.2/bin)

    Then try to run the software and let me know how it goes for you.

    Regards

    Judy

    Hello ASGer,

    Could you try to run the application omnis5.2 using the flag "-noOpenGLCheck".

    Steps to procced with:

    1. Open Command prompt.

    2. Go to the installation folder of omnis5.2

    3. run the following omnisClient.bat -noOpenGLCheck

    4. This will avoid looking for OpenGL and the GUI should be open.

    Let me know the outcome and if this still blocks you to start omnis5.2

    Thanks 

    Judy

    Hi ASGer,

    You need a license file? In the instruction email with the subject line "Your access to Cadence CFD software" you find the information how to get the hostid and hostname. Send that information in reply to the email. Then we'll be able to send you the license and the instructions how to use it to start the license server on your computer.

    Kind regards,
    Colinda
