Then it says Thermal Desktop:1, RadCAD:0, etc. On License Manager, everything is functioning fine. My license server is running, my license file has been uploaded and license manager runs it with the license, showing that the problem is likely not with the server. There is also no clear error. One telling sign is that it currently states none of my licenses are in use, despite the license server running with the license file without problems.
