NX 8 problem

[UGperson]

I had NX8 working fine till windows crashed. Now when I try and open NX 8 I get a license error and it tries to open in viewer mode. NX 7.5 still works just fine no license issues. NX is hosted off of a network drive and works fine on other workstations. I have deleted the folders that area created under C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Unigraphics Solutions hoping that would fix it. Is there any other place to look to fix this issue?
This is the error I get after I ok the error NX opens and in the top it says NX viewer 8- and everything is grayed out.

Have you tried to correct the possible issue with bundles as suggested in the error message?

There is not an option to do that. I think it has something to do with the way NX is starting. If I launch ug with this "Y:\eng_apps\ugnx8\UGII\ugraf.exe –powerdrafting" it will open in power draft mode but when I change it back to "Y:\eng_apps\ugnx8\UGII\ugraf.exe" it still launches as powerdraft mode. Any ideas on how to get it to launch into NX and not powerdrafting?

Found the solution!!! setting this to "Y:\eng_apps\ugnx8\UGII\ugraf.exe -NX" fixed the problem.

I think you will find that the Windows registry recorded the last manner in which NX was launched and unless you explicitly include the '-NX' in your launch command it will assume the last launch mode, whatever it was. The suggestion that you attempt to reset the 'bundle' is actually based on an assumption that you may have been running a bundle because this is how they are set-up to launch (something you learned when you set it to '-powerdrating' which is like launching a bundle). The '-NX' basically indicates that you're running the 'full' version and not a pre-defined set of capabilities (AKA a 'bundle').
