It’s not working—what do I do?

First, check that your computer is able to connect to your institution’s license server. Otherwise, if the software is being distributed by your IT department, they will be best placed to help you. If you get stuck, contact Support and we’ll do our best to help.

There’s an error while running the installer – what should I do?

These are some common issues related to running the installer. Double-check that you:
  • Have extracted the files, if your installer was distributed as a .zip.
  • Aren’t installing or uninstalling any other programs whilst running the installer. This includes any updates running in the background.
  • Have a stable Internet connection. Try re-running the installer with a wired Internet connection, or after moving to a place with better WiFi signal.
  • (Classic license only) Make sure license.lic is in the same folder as the installer, edupack_classic_setup.YYYY_RX.exe or edupack_introductory_classic_setup.YYYY_RX.exe. The license.lic file lets your users run the installer without signing in with a My Granta account. If a user’s installer prompts them to sign in, the license file may be missing.
  • (Flex-enabled only) Have entered the server name correctly during installation. You may see the following error message if there is a typo: “Your license could not be loaded. Please check your license settings, including License Manager server configuration”. Run the installer again to check.
Here another list of possible issues:
  • Error code 0x80070652 – Wait for any other programs to finish installing or uninstalling before starting the installer. Note that other installations may be running in the background e.g. Microsoft Updates.
  • Error code 0x80091007 – A poor internet connection can affect the installer when downloading the required files. Try re-running the installer and use a wired internet connection or move to place with a better Wi-Fi signal.
  • Error code 0x80070002 – The Granta EduPack installation files are damaged or corrupted.
  • Error code 0x80070643 – There is an error with the Microsoft .NET Framework installation on your computer.
  • Error code 0x80070666 – An error occurred in Visual Studio Runtime 2017. This error is caused by a version of Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime 2017 that accidentally removes a registry key used by Granta EduPack when manually uninstalled. See the Visual Studio support site for more details. Try installing the latest version of Visual Studio to restore the missing registry key.
If you are still encountering errors after that, contact your IT administrator or if you encounter a different error, contact
