File-Export-PDF needs license?

After just upgrading everyting to V17 I noticed that the File->Export->PDF is not functional in OrCAD Pro. Is this a special license that I missed? It's the only menu tree item that does not work for me.

I believe it requires a 'Allegro_Design_Publisher' license

I see on Cadence that that license is for schematic publishing PDF not for layout. That is the issue...but you might be right. I'll see what the VAR says.

<edit> The VAR responded with the same as what David said above: Needs Design Publisher license...sigh..

I just installed the latest hotfix:

\t (00:00:01) allegro 17.2 S051 Windows SPB 64-bit Edition

however 'pdf out' still fails for me since I don't have the ''Allegro_Design_Publisher' license:

\i (00:00:11) pdf out
\t (00:00:11) No license found, please contact your Cadence sales support.
\i (00:00:14) fillin confirm
