Please book PC1
in advance of your session. And please make sure to save your data to an external HDD before the end of the session.
Try either
Running the shortcut SURVOS on the Desktop (C:\Users\...\Anaconda2\envs\ccpi\Scripts\SurVos.exe)
or
[Start] --> Anaconda Prompt > activate ccpi > SuRVoS
Note that there are Light
and Full
versions. One 'full' licence takes 4 'light' ones (out of a total of 32), so a 'full' version is not always available.
