Star-CCM+ FLEXnet Error
 

Hello all,

Recently, when I try to open Star-CCM+, I recieve the error:

Checking license file: 1999@flex.cd-adapco.com
Error in checking out ccmppower: FLEXnet error: (-20003,147)
Failed to get all licenses needed for this job. Asked for 1 license of ccmppower
MPI Application rank 0 exited before MPI_Finalize() with status 8

I have read of similar problems to this, however I have not been able to fix the issue myself. I would like to also mention that the code started to work after several days, however it has recently stopped. I would much appreciate any insight into the meaning of this error, and how I might be able to get around it.

Thanks!

P.S. I'm a university student who is quite new to CFD; please forgive me if my understanding is poor!
