NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

(OP)
I have Femap and NX Nastran,  I cannot run Nastran after 1 April 2009. although Femap is doing just fine    I called tech support, they are working on it.  Is this only effecting NX versions of nastran or all flavors.  NEi, MSC, etc.    Does anyone know if this is virus related?

RE: NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

There are a lot of post on the MSC Forum regarding the same problem.

All version of Nastran up to 2005 not included are affected.

RE: NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

Hi all,
it's not a licence problem. It should be something built into the code. In fact it is affecting at the same time NX NASTRAN and MSC up to 2004 (maybe also 2005 r1). I called NX support (I use NX NASTRAN 5.0) and they told me they are working on it but they don't know when the problem will be fixed. As temporary workaround just put the computer clock back before 1 of April 2009 and it works again.
Hope this helps
regards
Francesco

Some of the patches for NX/NASTRAN are available for download as of this morning.  They are starting with the most popular versions first.   I am back up and running.

I did the same. If anybody wants the quick link:

RE: NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

Hi all

A question regarding this.

I have a collegue who works with MSC.Nastran for Windows 2005. The old Nastran with Femap. Does anybody know how that software is treated regarding this issue. He thought he had "permanent codes" but appearently they were not permanent.

Does anybody have the same problem and perhaps also a solution?

Ans to answer to OP, NEiNastran is not affected. At least not yet winky smile.

Regards

Thomas

RE: NX NASTRAN - 1 April 2009 License Bug

Nastran 2005.1 is affected by this problem.
The official MSC solution is to upgrade to 2005R2 or later.

I've upgraded today to 2005R3 and it's working.
