  Hi,
  I am using a student license (free version) and I recently upgraded from 2020 R2 to 2021 R1. I have been using the settings as attached for all my previous simulations and it worked fine. But, I am getting the following error (as attached) when trying to run the new version. The new version (2021 R1) doesn't show this error for 4 (solver processes)/0 (Solver GPU per machine) parallel settings. Can someone tell me the reason for this and also a workaround for using higher solver processes.
  Thanks appreciate your time and help!

  We decreased the Student HPC to 4 cores, so set parallel to 4 and it'll work. Given the cap on cell count and that the code is for learning that's plenty: most of the tutorials are designed to run on 2 cores in under 20 minutes. n
