We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Further information. 

The error 80004005 or 0x80004005 relates to lack of permissions. 
 It appears that AnsysWBU.exe (Ansys Mechanical) is atempting to execute a Windows script object (Jscript or Cscript) and is being blocked.
 As I mentioned before, this occurs for two reasons:
 - Windows scripting libraries are not registered.
 - A Protection program / endpoint program is preventing AnsysWBU.exe from executing scripts.
