Student edition - need innstallation help

: I'm trying to innstall the WF student edition. : : I get the error : : : licence request failed for feature proe- incentive -5 : no such feature exists : : flexlm error: -5,357 : : pro will not run and i have to close it : : i have obtained a licence file from ptc : Getting a license file from ptc is a very good thing. When they emailed it to you, you should have saved the attachment to a publically accessible folder. When you started the install program and went to the next page, it asks for a 'License File Path' and gives you a folder icon to browse to the licese file location. Browse to where you've stored the license file ptc sent you and all should be well if you bought the SE from JourneyEd. Or, at least somebody did. And it was the patched version. It's complicated, you know.

You can open the license.dat file with a text editor like notepad and modifiy it to correct problems. When you get - "flexlm -5,357" this is an error code of -5. So if you do a search for "flexlm -5" with google or altavista and read the different explainations for -5 error you might be able to solve this your self. See this link: Also, if Pro E installed fine you do not need to reinstall just modify the license.dat file. When you start Pro E and get the error message window maximize the window and make you read it all.
The makers of Flelm: The end user file - basicly the owners manual for flexlm licensing: Most of the software problems people have originate with licensing, the more you know the better off you will be.

P.S. Flexlm causes a thirst for Windsor Cokes!
