How do I install and configure the License AWR - University Program?

Once you receive an email with product and license assignment after registering on Cadence system, follow the steps below to use it.  

1.  Download, install, and start the software. Click OK on the following dialog.

2.  In the AWR License Configuration dialog box, click the Configure button to display the License Configuration dialog box. 

3.  In the License Configuration dialog box, select Single User License. Enter your Cadence account email and password then click Download. 

4.  A status window displays the license generation and download progress. The entire process can take several minutes. When the download is complete, a new dialog box displays to indicate that your single user license is ready. Click OK to close the dialog box. The license is now set up.

5.  Once you are properly configured the AWR License Configuration dialog should show “Running with Cadence SUL licensing”.

    I did the first steps but after I enter my email and password and click download, the status window will pop up for a couple of seconds and then disappear. And the software would not respond. I tried running as administrator, redownloading the program, and restarting my computer, and nothing changed. I have no idea what the issue is.

    Is your issue solved yet? I am having the same issue. The pop-up window disappearing after a couple of seconds without the license even properly being downloaded.

    The fact that the dialog is closing without reporting the status is a known issue, and a fix to that is expected in the new release, which is probably later this month.

    To find out whether or not the process successfully completed, look for the license file you specified, either in the location you specified or elsewhere on your computer.  Also check if you have rights or not for the specified location.

    If you are not able to find it, then go through the process again and if it is unsuccessful again, email to Cadence university, with all the information.
