I’m evaluating HOOPS ACCESS with a trial license. For this evaluation, I’m using CentOS Stream 10 on WSL and CMake 4.2.0. I’ve followed the instructions at Set Up Your Environment — HOOPS Access documentation but I get the following error when I run the example bumper test:
~/HOOPS_Solve_Access_Mesh_Eval_2.12.1_52f38eb1/build$ ./bin/vdm_exam1 ../src/sam/vdm/exam/bumper.unv
[DSYSysNLS][ERROR] Missing or invalid ‘SUPPLANG_V6’ file => Falling back to default locale settings
LICENSE ERROR: ierr= 15
SYS_ERROR_LICENSE Failure when checking License
Missing valid Tech Soft 3D license for this HOOPS toolkit
The license is copied verbatim from Tech Soft 3D Developer Zone → “View your license” (when signed in) and pasted into src/sam/hoops_license.h. The cmake commands are cmake --preset=Linux .. in build and cmake --build .
Another comment is that I get warnings related to libraries being not detected, but they are at most warnings.

Thanks; HOOPS ACCESS looks promising so looking forward to making it work.
