I should have a license for rhino 8 with my university, rhino 8 says “license found” but follows up with this error. Yet I can still use rhino 7. How can I fix this?

Please send an email to tech@mcneel.com
please include your systeminfo from from rhino 7 (open rhino, then type systeminfo in the command line)
you may be able to get rolling from this thread-
Hi, @Mariah_Rhino when Rhino fails to start, I assume you mean it installed fine, but sill not launch-
are you on a mac or a pc?
if on a mac, do you have enscape installed? if so see this thread-
if you are on a pc and are not using enscape, see this thread-
Let us know if either of those fixes do not work,
