I don't see the Allegro PCB Design CIS L suite when opening Orcad Capture

When I try to open Capture, I don't see the Allegro PCB Design CIS L option. I cannot open Capture using this choice. The other suite options are always checked out.

We are using a server based license.

The software reseller has not solved our issue.

Here's what other users see as choices when opening Capture:

Here's what I see:

I cannot open Capture using the Allegro feature. I have to have someone else create netlist files for me.

We are using version 17.2 S070

Any help would be appreciated.

    If you are specifically facing this issue then either CDS_LIC_FILE is not set correctly or someone is using Allegro CIS license. You can ask all your colleagues to close the schematics and launch on your PC & check.
