Next Design V2.0 terminates when license authentication is performed.

Phenomenon​

Next Design may terminate when attempting to launch Next Design V2.0.

  • When license registration has not been performed

When launching Next Design, the [License Registration] screen is displayed, but if you enter the required information and press the [Register] button, license registration will not be successful and Next Design will terminate.

  • When license registration has already been performed

A splash screen is displayed immediately after launching Next Design, but after the Next Design start screen is displayed for a moment, or without the start screen being displayed, Next Design will terminate.

Conditions for occurrence​

This occurs under the following conditions.

  • When [Use setup script] is ON in the Windows proxy settings.
  • And the license type is [User license] or [Floating license](other than [Evaluation version]).
  • And the version of Next Design is 2.0.1.20104 or 2.0.2.20203.

Workaround​

You can avoid the problem by following the steps below to explicitly set the proxy used for license registration and authentication of Next Design.

  1. Temporarily turn off [Use setup script] in the Windows proxy settings.

  2. Start Next Design.

  3. When the [License registration] screen is displayed, click [Network settings] at the bottom of the screen to display the [Network Settings] screen. (※)

  4. Check the [Use proxy] check box, set the connection information to the proxy, and press the [OK] button.

  5. Return to the [License Registration] screen, enter the required information, and press the [Register] button.

  6. The Next Design start screen will be displayed.

  7. Exit Next Design and turn [Use setup script] back ON in the Windows proxy settings.

  8. When you start Next Design again, the start screen will be displayed normally.

(※) If the license has already been registered, the [License Registration] screen will not be displayed in step 3. Instead, after Next Design starts, click [Help] > [Account] > [License Management] from the ribbon, and follow steps 3 and 4 to set the proxy settings on the [License Management] screen.
