I this a problem on sidefx servers or local?

I get this message when i start Houdini Apprentice 16.0.736 - I used the program yesterday

“Error installing key:LICENSE Generic Houdini-Master-NonCommercial 16.0 1 30-nov-2017 +.+.+.+ ”my pc name“ 0c0b6f49 mdkNRIwjUoDzrejYrsAkCb8IMBDT +6xmOltQxQ8HvUXsA@uZBSIZyLLSeeSfTCskO49XUneqUjP2zc” - typos may appear :-)

Will it work if I reinstall Houdini or am I not able to do anything?

Thanks

EDIT: apparently I worked out running it as Administrator

This tip above worked for myself as well on Windows 10

quick tip
To run as administrator
1)Click Windows Button Bottom Left
2)Find Apprentice under Side FX Tab
3)Right Click Apprentice program
4)Select Run as Administrator
5)The same licence expiry message will appear, but this time it works!!
