Has anyone received this error: Warning: This model has been loaded in Restricted mode. This model cannot have a Simscape Editing Mode of Full because licenses for the following products could not be obtained: Power_System_Blocks

Add on is listed before install, but user gets this error when trying to use the feature. We use a concurrent license file.

Answer 1

[Walter Roberson]

At the MATLAB command prompt command

ver('Power_System_Blocks')
license('inuse')
license('test','Power_System_Blocks')

and let us know what it says.

There is also the possibility that all of the concurrent licenses are used by other people.

It turns out that the magic test for 'ver' is

ver('powersys')

for old versions of MATLAB (up to R2011a), and for newer versions

ver('sps')

The name for the license test is still Power_System_Blocks

You do not appear to have a license for Simscape Power Systems; I cannot tell at the moment whether you have it installed without a license.
