Why am I getting the ORCOMMN-12006 Error?

Hi, 

yesterday I've installed Capture CIS through the "Your Producs" page on the cadence Homepage.

So I pressed the "download" button an went through the setup process.

I can build a simple circuit and simulate it through PSpice but i cant open any .lib files. When I try to do so, the following window pops up.

I've already tried to update my license but it didnt work. 

What have I done wrong?

Greetings

Till

    Check the environment variable CDS_LIC_FILE is set properly and pointing to correct active license file.

    So my CDS_LIC_FILE points to a old licens file in SPB17_4. Where do I find the licens for orcad X?
