Database configuration not possible after new installation

Giatzo

Hello,

I'm moving to a new PC and I'm reconfiguring Orcad Capture CIS 17.2.  I don't know why, but I can't configure my database because I don't have the option in Options -> CIS Configuration. Why? 64bit Database is configured correctly.

    Open a Project, or Design, then you will see the option for CIS Configuration.

    I did it. The screenshot attached is taken with a project open. Here is another screenshot:

    I guess that you have a valid license for Capture CIS 17.2 so, check the exact version that you are running, from Help>About in Capture. Latest version is 17.2-2016.s056

    Of course I have a valid license. Is it mandatory to have the latest version? In the old PC, Capture is not updated but I don't have this problem. My version is: 17.2-2016-P010

    It's no mandatory to be running the latest version but, of course, updates will change the product and how it works. If you are running 17.2-2016.p010 on both machines, you could try starting Capture with the Run as Administrator option from the right-click menu on the shortcut, that might help to get the CIS software components registered. Before you get to any serious work though, I would recommend updating your Capture CIS installation, ideally, to the latest version, but, certainly, "something" later than the Base Release from April 2016.

    I've updated CIS at the version 17.2-2016-s052 and I've configured the ODBC source. I still don't have the option CIS configuration.  What's happening?

    You may have a valid license but you have started Capture with an OrCAD PCB Designer license, that only enables the Capture functionality. You need to start Capture with an OrCAD Capture CIS license, or an OrCAD PCB Designer with Capture CIS Option license to enable the Capture CIS functionality.

    Thank you very much oldmouldy. The problem was the licence not properly configured. Now I have the CIS option and everything is working fine.
