ERROR (LM-20): user/host/display not on option INCLUDE list for feature "Capture" ().

Trying to debug what happened to my OrCAD license yet again.

Google searching on the above error message, directed me to this page which does a damn fine job describing the INCLUDE list and other options file parameters:

Further digging shows that this file is just my license.dat file under C:\flexlm

Naturally, there is no "Capture" feature listed because our OrCAD is a site license. There's a bunch of Actel software features listed though, and I bet that when I installed those I somehow messed up the pointer to the OrCAD license server
