Error when trying to generate SUL license (-8)

Hi, newbie here.

We are using AWR Design Enviroment in our university and so I have to install it (OS: Arch Linux)
I installed it in a Windows 10 VM without problems.

When I try to start it prompts "Failed to connect to license server", I guess thats the first problem.

After that when trying to generate my SUL License it will prompt Internal Error -8 (see Image)

I can't find something on Error -8 :/ and overall the available data to the license topic is quit low :/

If someone has a solution for that I would gladly hear about it :)

    Hi Skar16,

    AWR is windows based tool and for licensing you just need to login through Config tab.  So install AWR on Windows only.

    Regarding AWR SUL error issue,  I am not sure if it's setup correctly.  Please check the following link for AWR SUL license setup.  If still you are getting error please email this issue with more detail on universityprogram@cadence.com.
