A little information please...
What version are you using?
Is SE installed on a network?
1. This sounds like SE can't file the license file. SE requires a license file to be present on your computer to run the software. It should have been sent via email after purchase or after a new release is issued. Check that SE is looking in the correct folder for your license file.
-Start, programs, SE V_, licensing, license utility...
Browse to your license file folder.
2. If you purchased a configuration that uses a dongle or hardware lock you have to 'plugged' in to the USB port.
3. If you haven't installed whatever license mananging utility your version came with you need to do that first.
a. Obtain Web Key
b. Get correct license file
c. Install flexm manager for floating licenses
go to
for help or refer to your installation manual.
