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.

Hello,

If this is the Free Student software, the license is built in.
Removing everything and reinstalling should help. Make sure to "run as administtrator"
Be aware that you can not have the Free student version installed on a machine with the commercial version.

Best Regards,
