Altium was closed and I right clicked on a *.PCBLIB or *.SCHLIB file in Windows Explorer to Select and Open the library file. The file did not open.
Altium started up and displayed an invalid license warning.
Work-around:
Open Altium First, then open a *.PCBLIB or *.SCHLIB file.
A second instance of Altium opened and had a valid license, while the other instance did not.
A work-around was found to prevent the second instance of Altium from starting up.
Before opening the *.PCBLIB or *.SCHLIB file from Windows Explorer, first open an existing PCB project, or create a new part using File > New > Library > . . .
The Cause of the Problem:
I was using a roaming license, I work from two locations, my company office and home.
The Fix:
Release the roaming license, use the license, then configure for roaming again.
The mysterious open file from Windows File Explorer bug was exterminated.
That's It !
