Product option not showing properly in Allegro X version?

Hi Kabaleeswaran, If the product choices dialog box does not come after invoking the software, it might be because the user selected the Use as default option.To address this, once the software is started with the default choices, go to File > Change Editor and select the new product license from the list provided.

Also, the default selection is stored in the appropriate allegro.ini file. This file can be found in your pcbenv folder (<HOME>/pcbenv/allegro.ini), located under the HOME directory path. It is stored as base_license=Allegro_Adv_Packaging_Plus. If this line is deleted, the default selection is disabled . Now if you reinvoke Allegro you can see the changes.

i tried it is not working.. can you suggest me where i need to add

i found one more observation i am confusing is that license fetch from server  or local , bcoz i am facing issue. can you suggest me

Hello Kabaleeswaran, Yes looking at the screenshot it looks like tool is not able to get the license file. Before that can you try the below steps once:

1. Go to your HOME directory by typing %HOME% in the Windows Run dialog box.

2. Open the pcbenv folder and rename “allegro.ini” to “allegro_backup.ini”. 

3. Delete the old license_cache files present in this folder.

4. Now, when you run APD+/Allegro, a new allegro.ini will be created.

See if you can access the license now.
