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 Skar, I am in a similar situation to you at the moment. I too am trying to install AWR using Wine. And I am also getting the same error code when trying to generate license. If you could please share your solution, it would be highly appreciated.

    Hi, i'm glad I'm not the only one xd
    I ended up trying to install it via wine, since when licensing there will be somewhat a call to the OS which will end up to be and Unix Kernel even with wine.
    Personally at the moment I just use the PC's in university (they have a local license server). An VM solution didn't work for me on Arch Linux, I know of a course member of mine who got it working in a Virtual Box enviroment with OpenSuse.
    But it will get to the problem(VM) again in about two weeks when I have more time, If I suceed I will let you know.
