                          ERROR - PlugIn Error: The required license is unavailable

                          Authored by Aaron Schedlin February 14th, 2025 615 views 1 likes KB3067421

                          ERROR

                          You are attempting to attach a geometry but get an error saying that it was unable to do so.

                          Unable to attach to geometry file C:\Users\Username\FileLocation\filename.stp Unable to attach geometry.
                          Error! PlugIn Error: The required license is unavailable.

                          Software & Version

                          Workbench 2025R1

                          *This example was taken from this version but is not necessarily limited to this version.

                          Description/Cause

                          This error occurs in 2025R1 because it is looking for the “rdpara” increment and that increment is not listed in the license file. This is a known issue with 2025R1 Pro and Premium licensing. This will be fixed in 2025R2.

                          *The cause(s)/solution(s) we identified in this documented instance may not be the only cause(s)/solution(s) for this error.

                          Solution

                          Solution 1 - Request Geometry Interface for Parasolid Temporary license

                          The “rdpara” license increment is included with the Geometry Interface for Parasolid license. Contact your account manager to request a temporary license.

                           
                           

                          Solution 2 - Revert back to 2024R2

                          Older versions of Workbench Pro/Premium do not look for the “rdpara” increment. You can revert back to the previous version you had prior to 2025R1 then wait until 2025R2 is released.
