I've installed it many times and never had an issue, it always detects it automatically as far as I remember (maybe I've been lucky). Anyway, I found an installation guide online, if you follow the steps in that it should install. If not I'd suggest contacting cadence would be your best bet.

Can you please check if you have following environment variable set

CDS_LIC_FILE

and it's value should be 5280@licenseservername

You can set the direct under windows environment variable or by using cadence license manager client setup utility

I assume your license server is up and running and you have valid license for OrCAD PCB Editor version 16.3
