Troubleshooting
If you start your SigmaPlot and it is still in trial mode or asking for license update/activation, this could be because you do not have the needed Windows privileges to the SigmaPlot Sentinel license folder.
Give your Windows user profile the correct privileges to the license folder
- Run the Commando prompt in admin mode
Click the Windows button (bottom-right in Windows), and write: cmd . Then right click the cmd.exe program in the search result list, and choose "Run as administrator". - Enter this command into your commando prompt and hit your Enter key to run:
icacls "%ProgramData%\SafeNet Sentinel\Sentinel LDK" /grant Users:(CI)(OI)(M)
If you are running Windows 10 you can copy-paste this command into the Command prompt windows, else you must enter it manually.
If your license cannot be activated automatically ("Failed" error, or no internet connection), please follow the manual procedure below.
Your SigmaPlot is running slow, and you are using active directory.
If your computer is in an active directory environment, and SigmaPlot 14 is running slow, in many cases it will help to move the SigmaPlot user files to a local folder.
You can manually override the user directory setting in the following fashion (admin rights/privileges needed):
- Click the Windows button (bottom-left on your screen), and type “regedit”.
- Navigate in the tree to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
- Right-click on this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software)
- Select “New” and “Key”
- Rename the new key to “SYSTAT Software Inc.” (note caps and the period).
- Right-click on “SYSTAT Software Inc.”
- Select “New” and “Key”
- Rename the new key “Common”
- Right-click “Common”
- Select “New” and “String Value”
- Rename the new value “UserPath”
- Double-click “UserPath” and choose the path/folder you wish to use as the user path (e.g. c:sigmaplot). The directories “SigmaPlot”, etc. will be created within the directory you specify.
