How to add license

[TAMMYLROMER751285]

Folks. New to the Forum
I downloaded Revit 2017 and have an educational license.
However, Revit is ONLY opening in Viewer, and I have no option to add my license.

Went to autodesk help forum. And this is the fix below. But, I haven't the foggiest idea where these files are on my PC and I've done a search. Can someone interpret for me?

Issue:
When you launch Revit 2017 on your computer, it checks out Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium 2017 network license from your license server, but the program opens in a viewer mode.
Causes:
This issue could happen if A DSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE value key under H KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FLEXlm License Manager registry key, is corrupted.
Solution:
To resolve the issue, delete A DSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE value key under H KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FLEXlm License Manager registry key, and start Revit 2017.

Hi! Welcome to AUGI and congrats on making your first post!

I've moved your question from the CAD Management forum to this Revit subforum, as I think you'll be better served here.

Cheers,

You almost certainly have an answer by now, but for the benefit of the group:

All that information can be found with a REGEDIT.

This is one way to open Registry Editor in Windows 10.

1 In the search box on the taskbar, type regedit.
2 Select the top result, regedit Run command.

This is another.

1 Right-click Start Windows logo Start button, then select Run.
2 Enter regedit in the Open: box and select OK.
