PyKX license error

Posted by jhgkinds on July 11, 2023 at 12:00 am

Dear KX community,

I did a fresh install of q on windows with a new license file.

Q works ok.

But after installing PyKX v1.6 it remains saying "Failed to initialize PyKX fully licensed functionality.
To access all functionality of PyKX please download an evaluation license from https://kx.com/kdb-insights-personal-edition-license-download/
Full installation instructions can be found at https://code.kx.com/pykx/getting-started/installing.html
Falling back to unlicensed mode, which has limited functionality.
Refer to https://code.kx.com/pykx/user-guide/advanced/modes.html for more information on licensed vs unlicensed modalities.
Captured output from initialization attempt:
‘2023.07.11T21:46:14.219 licence error: k4.lic

I have put QLIC and QHOME in my environment variables, but nothing helps.

Any solution?

Can you run these 2 commands in your command prompt and share the output?

set QARGS="--unlicensed" 
python -c "import pykx;pykx.util.debug_environment()"

This is the output for me:

Note:

QLIC must point to the folder containing the licence, it should not point to the the file itself.
The license needs to have the flags insights.lib.embedq insights.lib.pykx
